“You say that your mother, who bore you
In her womb in this life, was kind.
‍But why, then, do you not consider even once
The kindness of other beings who helped you,
Your parents from countless lives in the past?”
‍Shabkar (1781-1851) – Translated by Adam Pearcey (Lotsawa House)

"My native lands is all lands,
In no particular direction.
My monastery is the solitary mountains,
In no particular place.
My family is all the beings of the six realms.”
