‘Lakes and pools adorned with lotuses,
And the beautiful call of wild geese;
Everything that is unowned
Throughout worlds as extensive as space-

Holding these in my mind, I offer them well
To the supreme Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
O Compassionate Ones, holy objects of offering,
Think of me kindly and accept what I offer, 

- Shantideva
