His Holiness
The Fifth Dalai Lama
Lobsang Gyatso
(1642–1682)
“Since pervasive Atisha seemed equal to the Muni
In dispelling the gloom of wrong conceptions,
After setting his works, supreme wish-fulfilling jewels,
Atop the victory-banner of hearing, thinking and meditating
Certainly, this doctrine of the so-called “Kadampas”
Which pervades all directions and sates every wish and desire, is marvelous.”
