Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

They dwell within my mind

And at their pleasure injure me. All this I suffer meekly, unresenting—

Thus my abject patience, all displaced!

Elles occupent mon esprit,

Me font mal comme bon leur semble, Et moi, je le tolère sans m’emporter :

Cette patience mal placée mérite le mépris !

Padmakara France 2007

Bodhicaryâvatâra: La marche vers l'éveil (2007)

Permanecen en mi mente

y me dañan a su antojo. Tolerarlos sin enfurecerse con ellos

es una paciencia abyecta, no la adecuada.

Padmakara Spain 2008

La Práctica del Bodisatva

While they remain in my mind

They harm me joyfully. Bearing this patiently without anger,

Is unsuitable and this patience is an object of criticism

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

While they dwell in my mind

And delight in causing me harm. Remaining still patient, enduring them without anger

Is backward patience and subject to scorn.

While inhabiting our minds,

They cause us harm whenever they please. We tolerate this by not getting angry. However, if we tolerate something intolerable,

It’s a disgrace.
