Inspiration: The Jewel Ornament of Liberation

As the number of grains of sand in the Ganges,
So are the Buddha fields of all the Buddhas.
If one person entirely filled them with jewels
And made this offering to all the Well-gone Ones,
Yet it would be a much superior offering
When a person folds his hands together
And cultivates bodhicitta.
This offering is beyond limitation.
