6 Virtue and Happiness

This alone—one’s service to sentient beings (sattvaraddhana) is pleasing to Tathagatas [Enlightened or Awakened Ones]. This alone is the actual accomplishment of one’s goal. This alone removes the suffering of the world. Therefore, let this alone be my resolve.

—Santideva, The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, VI, 127

Thus, one who has patience should cultivate zeal, because Awakening is established with zeal, and there is no merit without zeal.… What is zeal? It is enthusiasm for virtue.

—Santideva, The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, VII, 1, 2
