Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

You turn your back upon the Sacred Doctrine,

Supreme joy and boundless source of bliss. Why delight in mere excitement,

In distractions that will cause you misery?

¿Cómo puedes abandonar el darma sagrado,

que es la alegría suprema y causa de la felicidad infinita, y disfrutar con distracciones y frivolidades

que engendrarán tu sufrimiento?

Padmakara Spain 2008

Having abandoned the supreme happiness of the infinite

And holy dharma, which is the cause for happiness, Why do you like the distraction, mental excitement

And so forth, of the causes of suffering?

Abandoning the exalted joyful Dharma

Which is a limitless cause of joy, Why enjoy the causes of suffering

Such as distraction, laughter, and the like?
