Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho
177
Therefore for the increase of my body’s wants,
I’ll give no space, no opportunity. And of possessions, those things are the best
That do not captivate by their attractiveness.

Il ne faut donc pas donner
Libre cours aux désirs du corps. La meilleure chose est celle
Que l’on ne trouve pas attrayante.
Por eso, a los deseos de mi cuerpo
no les dejaré ninguna posibilidad de aumentar. De todas las posesiones, la mejor es
la que no nos cautiva por su atractivo.
Therefore one should not give
The physical desires a chance to increase. Not apprehending anything attractive
Is a wholesome phenomenon.
Therefore, never allow an opportunity
For physical craving. Not grasping at the attractive
Is a noble possession.

Tsadra Critical Edition §This text was created by comparing four versions of the text from Derge, Cone, Narthang, and Peking Tengyurs from BDRC scans, along with Dunhuang manuscripts IOL Tib J 628, 629, and 630. When Tibetan readings were problematic, the Sanskrit texts from GRETIL and LTB (Oslo) were consulted.
