Bodhicaryavatara 1.30

1.30

rātrau yathā meghaghanāndhakāre vidyut kṣaṇaṃ darśayati prakāśam /
buddhānubhāvena tathā kadācillokasya puṇyeṣu matiḥ kṣaṇaṃ syāt //

Just as at night in pitch darkness thick with clouds lightning reveals light for an instant, / So by the power of the Buddha, perhaps sometimes the mind of the world may turn to merits for a moment. // 1.5
