Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

33

All other foes that I appease and wait upon

Will show me favors, give me every aid, But should I serve my dark defiled emotions,

They will only harm me, draw me down to grief.

Quand on les sert en répondant à leurs désirs,

Ils vous aident et cherchent à vous plaire, Mais si vous servez vos émotions négatives,

C’est la souffrance qu’elles apportent en retour.[p.71]La Marche vers l'Éveil (2007)

Padmakara France 2007

Bodhicaryâvatâra: La marche vers l'éveil (2007)

A otros enemigos si se les sirve y satisface,

a cambio benefician y favorecen. Pero si sirvo a las emociones aflictivas,

solo me dañarán y colmarán de sufrimiento.

When agreeably and respectfully relied upon

Then everybody acts beneficial and causes happiness, But if one relies on the afflictions

They will retaliate and cause harm.[p.21]The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

If associated with and honored harmoniously,

Everyone brings benefit and happiness. But association with the defilements

Causes harm and still brings suffering later.
