An enemy after being repelled may retreat and occupy a different position whence he may return with new strength; but the enemy which are the afflictions has no such sanctuary.

Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

45

Common foes, when driven from the state,

Retreat and base themselves in other lands, And muster all their strength the better to return.

But enemy afflictions are without such stratagems.

L’ennemi ordinaire chassé d’un pays

Peut trouver asile à l’étranger, rassembler ses forces Et se refaire avant de revenir,

Mais ce n’est pas le cas de mes ennemis, les émotions négatives.[p.73]La Marche vers l'Éveil (2007)

Padmakara France 2007

Bodhicaryâvatâra: La marche vers l'éveil (2007)

Los enemigos corrientes al ser expulsados de un país,

se retiran y encuentran asilo en otras tierras, y cuando recuperan sus fuerzas regresan de nuevo.

Pero mi enemigo, las pasiones, no actúa como ellos.

Padmakara Spain 2008

La Práctica del Bodisatva

When the ordinary enemy gets expelled from one place

They conquer another place and remain there.[p.26]The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors
Stracke, Fedor, trans. The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors: A Commentary on the Introduction to the Actions of Bodhisattvas. By Gyaltsab Rinpoche. N.p.: Happy Monks Publication, 2016. https://happymonkspublication.org/product/bodhisattvacharyavatara-chapter-1-10-commentary/. Having regained strength they return.

The way of the enemy of the afflictions is not like that.

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

Ordinary enemies, being expelled

From one place completely take up another, And strengthening themselves return again, but

The technique of the enemy that is the defilements is unlike that.
