"Every time we offer service for others or even for one other being, we create far greater merit than from making offerings to all the buddhas. In the Bodhicaryavatara, the great bodhisattva Shantideva says, 'Even thinking to really benefit others is much more meaningful than having made offerings to Buddha, so there is no question when one actually attempts to benefit others.' "
- Lama Zopa Rinpoche
