妻子集会，
当愿众生，
怨亲平等，
永离贪著。
— 文殊菩萨
(华严经: 净行品11: 第3偈)
[When] wife and children gather,
[reflect that] ‘May sentient beings’
enemies [and] relatives equally,
forever renounce greedy attachment.’ *
— Manjusri Bodhisattva
(Avatamsaka Sutra: Chapter 11 On Pure Practices: Verse 3)
* As all beings are our family
in past and future lives too,
including present enemies,
there should be renunciation
of attachment to any,
while caring equanimously for all.
