regard the bodies of others as ‘I’? It is not difficult to seeThat my body is also that of others. In the same way as the hands and so forthAre regarded as limbs of the body Likewise why are embodied creaturesNot regarded as limbs of life?Shantideva✥As a mother with her own life guards the life of her own child, let all-embracing thoughts for all that lives be thine.Khuddaka Patha
