English	Moreover, if one fails to obtain a precious human existence and is born in the lower realms, one can only ever accomplish evil; there is no opportunity to practice virtue. For instance, the majority of animals cannot live unless they consume the flesh and blood of the species on which they prey. And in the slaying of their quarry, they are far more skilled even than human beings. Here is now my chance for wholesome deeds, But if I fail to practice virtue, What will be my lot, what shall I do, Bewildered by the sorrows of the lower realms?[p.56]The Way of the Bodhisattva (2006) Blankleder, Helena, and Wulstan Fletcher (Padmakara Translation Group), trans. The Way of the Bodhisattva: A Translation of the Bodhicharyāvatāra. By Śāntideva. Rev. ed. Shambhala Classics. Boston: Shambhala Publications, 2006. The argument in the following stanzas continues in the same vein. When one obtains a precious human existence endowed with freedoms and advantages, one is fortunate in having the capacity to do good with one’s body, speech, and mind. But if, Shantideva says, he fails to practice virtue even to the slightest degree, he will, as the result of his evil actions, be tormented in subsequent lives in the hells and other of the lower realms. And being ignorant of what to do and what to avoid, how will he ever be able to accomplish virtue? It is impossible.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment.
