У монахов Наланды существовал обычай время от времени...

The monks of Nalanda had a custom from time to time to get together and read, discussing, some philosophical essay. Shantideva, on the other hand, was considered by the monks to be a stupid and not very capable person. Meanwhile, it was his turn to read the text. Shantideva asked what to read: his own or someone else's. The monks decided to laugh at the stupid simpleton and invited him to read his own composition. And Shantideva began to read the Bodhicharyavatara (Bodhisattvacharyavatara) - a text that soon became a normative for the Mahayana treatise on the ideal of a bodhisattva and the Mahayana path. Reading the text, Shantideva entered samadhi, and then began to levitate, rising above the floor in front of the amazed and shocked brethren. Naturally, no one considered him a fool anymore.
Why be sad
If everything can still be fixed?
And why be sad
If nothing can be fixed already?
(chapter 6, verse 11)
