Recitation by Lopen Karma Phuntsho

In caves, beneath the trees, in houses left abandoned,

May we linger long as we might wish. Relinquishing the pain of guarding our possessions,

Let us live in freedom, unconfined by cares.

Ils séjournent aussi longtemps qu’il leur plaît

Dans des cabanes abandonnées, au pied des arbres ou dans des grottes, Libres de la souffrance d’avoir et de protéger,

À l’aise et sans souci.[p.148]La Marche vers l'Éveil (2007)

Padmakara France 2007

Bodhicaryâvatâra: La marche vers l'éveil (2007)

En cuevas, bajo árboles, en casas abandonadas

que permanezcamos tanto como queramos. Abandonando los sufrimientos de proteger nuestras posesiones,

que vivamos sin depender de nadie y sin preocupaciones.

Padmakara Spain 2008

La Práctica del Bodisatva

Abiding as one wishes

In empty houses, at the foot of trees and caves, Abandoning the suffering of keeping,

Enjoying without care and independently.

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

Dwell in empty houses, trees, and caves.

As long as desired. Abandoning the struggle to guard belongings,

Enjoying the freedom of not relying on others.
