From Khenpo Tenzin Norgay...Bhutanese teacher and lama:
"A person who is not able to help himself and thinks of helping others is just a joke. In the thirty seven practices of Bodhisattvas it says that very clearly. But the point is we must have the ability but not focus on the self interest."
From the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattvas:
"All of our sufferings, without an exception, derive from the wish to please but ourselves..."
Tricky business this Buddhism.
