English	If you recognize delusion for what it is, you will see that there is nothing worthwhile in this ordinary world, nothing in the whole of samsara.55There are six basic miseries in samsara: (1) friends and enemies are changeable, (2) we never seem to have enough, (3) we die again and again, (4) we are reborn again and again, (5) we go up and down in samsara again and again, and (6) we are essentially alone. Even the highest gods of this world, like Brahma and Indra,[p.87]The Thirty Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva (Khenpo Gawang) Gawang, Khenpo, and Gerry Wiener, trans.

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. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩
