COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Three ways to say 'fools at ease'

fools at ease
in seeing the world
to be or not to be
fools fail to see
a world at ease.

- stephen batchelor's interpretation of nagarjuna

those with little intelligence
view things as being existent or nonexistent.
they do not see that what is to be seen
is perfect and utter peace.

- ari goldfield's translation of nagarjuna

fools and reificationists who perceive
the existence and nonexistence
of objects
do not see the pacification of objectification.


- jay garfield's translation of nagarjuna
