།སྡུག་བསྔལ་མ་ལུས་བདག་བདེ་འདོད་ལས་བྱུང༌། །རྫོགས་པའི་སངས་རྒྱས་གཞན་ཕན་སེམས་ལས་འཁྲུངས། །དེ་ཕྱིར་བདག་བདེ་གཞན་གྱི་སྡུག་བསྔལ་དག །ཡང་དག་བརྗེ་བ་རྒྱལ་སྲས་ལག་ལེན་ཡིན། [AP] The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to make a genuine exchange Of one’s own happiness and wellbeing for all the sufferings of others. Since all misery comes from seeking happiness for oneself alone, Whilst perfect buddhahood is born from the wish for others’ good. [KM] All suffering comes from wanting your own happiness. Complete awakening arises from the intention to help others. So, exchange completely your happiness For the suffering of others — this is the practice of a bodhisattva. [RS] All suffering comes from the wish for your own happiness. Perfect Buddhas are born from the thought to help others. Therefore exchange your own happiness For the suffering of others—This is the practice of Bodhisattvas. [AB] A bodhisattva’s practice is to purely exchange our personal happiness for the suffering of others, because (all) our sufferings, without an exception, come from desiring our personal happiness, while a fully enlightened Buddha is born from the attitude of wishing others well. |
