།སྡུག་བསྔལ་སྣ་ཚོགས་རྨི་ལམ་བུ་ཤི་ལྟར། །འཁྲུལ་སྣང་བདེན་པར་བཟུང་བས་ཨ་ཐང་ཆད། །དེའི་ཕྱིར་མི་མཐུན་རྐྱེན་དང་འཕྲད་པའི་ཚེ། །འཁྲུལ་པར་ལྟ་བ་རྒྱལ་སྲས་ལག་ལེན་ཡིན། [AP] The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to recognize delusion Whenever one is confronted by adversity or misfortune. For these sufferings are just like the death of a child in a dream, And it’s so exhausting to cling to delusory perceptions as real. [KM] All forms of suffering are like dreaming that your child has died. Taking confusion as real wears you out. When you run into misfortune, Look at it as confusion — this is the practice of a bodhisattva. [RS] All forms of suffering are like a child’s death in a dream. Holding illusory appearances to be true makes you weary. Therefore when you meet with disagreeable circumstances, See them as illusory—This is the practice of Bodhisattvas. [AB] A bodhisattva’s practice is, at the time when meeting with adverse conditions, to see them as deceptive, for various sufferings are like the death of our child in a dream and to take (such) deceptive appearances to be true is a tiresome waste. |
