Until then, may I not become disheartened by saṃsāra while performing bodhisattva conduct for a long time. May I, through the power of samādhi, search out those who can be ripened for a long time and take care of those who can be trained. While practicing the six perfections, may I take care of those who can be trained. “ ‘I have heard the Bhagavat say, “The perfection of generosity is to give up the characteristics of things.” I will practice that kind of generosity. In my future lifetimes, when there are countless beings coming with requests, may I give away to them in this way: may I give them food and drink to eat, enjoy, drink, and lick,³⁰³ clothes, beds, seats, accommodations, garlands, incense, perfumes, medicine, parasols, victory banners, flags, wealth, grain, elephants, horses, chariots, gold, silver, cowries,³⁰⁴ jewels, pearls, beryl, conch,³⁰⁵ crystal, coral, silver artifacts, and gold artifacts.³⁰⁶ May I give all kinds of gifts again and again. May I give to beings with perfect joy and a compassionate mind, without hoping to gain a result from my generosity. - [Previous: 182](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.182) - [Next: 184](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.184) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་སྙིང་རྗེ་པད་མ་དཀར་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo.183) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.183](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.183) · Pramāṇa
