Chanted Verse

Recitation by Professor Kashinath Nyaupane

101

The chain or aggregate of phenomena that we call “myself” is only deceptively real, like a line of ants or a marching army. There is no one to possess sorrow; therefore, who can call sorrow his own?

Chanted Verse

Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

101

Continua and gatherings, so-called,

Like garlands and like armies, are unreal. So there is no one to experience pain

For who is there to be its “owner”?

Les [mots] « continuum » ou « ensemble »

Sont aussi trompeurs que « collier » ou « armée ». Il n’y a pas d’être affecté par la souffrance :

Qui donc en serait le possesseur ?

Padmakara France 2007

Bodhicaryâvatâra: La marche vers l'éveil (2007)

Lo que se denomina “continuo” y “compuesto”

es tan irreal como un rosario o un ejército. Así, no hay nadie que experimente el dolor,

pues, ¿quién sería su poseedor?

Padmakara Spain 2008

La Práctica del Bodisatva

That called continuum and collection

Are false, like the rosary and army, There is no one suffering,

What should they abandon belonging to whom?

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

So-called continua and composites Are unreal like a rosary and an army.

Since there is no experiencer of suffering, Who could experience it?

རྒྱུད་དང་ཚོགས་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ནི། །

འཕྲེང་བ་ཆུ་རྒྱུན་ནགས་སོགས་བཞིན། ། དྲན་དང་བློ་ལ་རྨོངས་པ་རྣམས། །

འགྲོ་བ་རྣམས་ནི་གཅིག་དུ་སེམས། །

alt verse 6.43 tm data

This version differs from it's counterparts.

That which is called a collection and a continuum,

Is like a mala, stream, forest, and so on. Those who are confused with regard to recollection and mind

Think that sentient beings have individual identities.
