(14( The Lama's blessings, Like spring warming up soil and water- If they don't enter into me,there is no way to be introduced to the nature of the mind. When there is a short-cut, why take the long way around? May I truly practice the sublime teachings.
(15)
These distractions,like never-ending waves-
If they aren't given up,there is no way
to become stable.
When I can do as I like, why practice samsara?
May I truly practice the sublime teachings. (16)
This mindstream,
Like the tough hide of a butter-bag-
If it's not tamed and softened,
one can't mix mind with dharama.
Without spoiling the child that is born of itself,
May I truly practice the sublime teachings.braces
(17)
Ego, like a shadow one is born with-
Until it's abandoned, there is no way
to reach a place of real joy.
When treat him as friend?
May I truly practice the sublime teachings.braces
(18)
These ingrained bad habits,karmic patterns,
Like the strong currents of a river-
If they aren't cut,
one can avoid acting contrary to the dharma.
Without selling weapons to my enemies,
May I truly practice the sublime teachings.braces
(19)
The five poisons,like hot embers among ashes-
Until they're destroyed,
one can't remain at rest in the natural state.
Not raising baby vipers in my pockets,
May I truly practice the sublime teachings.braces
(20)
Bodhicitta,like a fertile field-
Unless it is cultivated,there is no way
to achieve enlightenment.
Not staying idle
when there is a great aim to be accomplished,
May I truly practice the sublime teachings.braces
(21)
The life stories of the great masters,
Like the essence of amrita-
If they aren't known, there is no way for confidence to arise.
Not choosing self-destruction
when I can tell victory from defeat,
May I truly practice the sublime teachings.braces
(22>
