Samsaric and Nirvanic Excellence

This is found in the Setrap prayer and serves to remind me the importance to develop compassion (Bodhicitta (B)) and wisdom (Sunyata (S)). For it is when B & S are fused, we gain Buddhahood. It is wisdom that compels us to want to leave samsara but compassion compels us to want to come back to help others. What a lovely expression this is.
