If this “I” is not relinquished wholly,
sorrow likewise cannot be avoided.
For if he does not keep away from fire,
a man cannot escape from being burned.

To free myself from harm
and others from their sufferings,
Let me give myself away,
and cherish others as I love myself.

(-Fra Bodhicharyavatara (The Way of the Bodhisattva)
