The highest kind of person, not only wishes to escape from their own samsaric cycle of problems and confusion but also want to help all other beings to escape as well. Their intentions, their objectives, are so huge and limitless that they are called the great beings. Gampopa urges us to try to be this last kind. We should not merely enjoy the present comforts of the world. We should not aim merely to pull ourselves out of samsara, but we should also try to bring all other living beings to complete freedom from suffering.
