To rid myself of evil, only cause of sorrow? This should be my one concern,

Comment me libérer pour de bon

De la souffrance qui résulte des actes nuisibles ? Voilà l’unique question sur laquelle, jour et nuit,

Devrait se pencher mon esprit.

¿cómo asegurarme de que me deshago de ellos? Sólo debería preocuparme de eso,

día y noche, sin cesar, todo el tiempo.

La Práctica del Bodisatva

“From non-virtue arises suffering

How does one become free from that?” you say It is suitable that I contemplate

This alone day and night.

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

Suffering arises from non virtue.

Saying, "How can I be surely freed from this?" Always both day and night

It is right to think only of this.
