Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

Keep company with them and what will follow?

Self-aggrandizement and scorn for others, Talk about the “good things” of saṃsāra—

Every kind of vice is sure to come.

Éloge de soi-même, dénigrement des autres,

Paroles exaltant le samsâra : En bref, la fréquentation des êtres puérils

Ne peut qu’entraîner des actes négatifs.

Padmakara France 2007

Bodhicaryâvatâra: La marche vers l'éveil (2007)

Alabarse a uno mismo, criticar a otros,

conversar de las alegrías del samsara y demás faltas ocurrirán sin duda alguna

en compañía de esos seres pueriles.

La Práctica del Bodisatva

If one associates with the childish

One will definitely acquire any non-virtue there is, Such as praising oneself and criticizing others,

And conversation taking pleasure in cyclic existence.

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

If one associates with the childish.

Non-virtue will certainly derive from them, Such as praising oneself, blaming others,

Discussion of the pleasures of samsara and the like.

This version differs from it's counterparts.

In the company of the foolish,

One ends up praising oneself and disparaging others. One speaks of real joy in samsara

And without a doubt, non-virtue arises.[p.222]Entering the Way of the Bodhisattvas (2022, Khenpo Gawang and Wiener)
