Excellent, I'm so glad to see this parallel, the Saint Francis Prayer and Shantideva's Bodhisattva vow alongside one another. I'm familiar with both and have thought about both and their magnitude and importance in my own life and others. Thank you for sharing the inspiration of love and selflessness that both of these prayers bring forth. It is a goal to strive for and to realise here on earth and some might say it is our only goal. Thanks once again. Sadhu, Hooray, Shanti :)
