ཤེས་རབ་མ་པར་་རོལ་ཕྱིནལྔཡིས། །རྫོགས་པའི་བྱང་ཆུབའཐོབ་པམི་ནུས་པ། །ཐབསདང་ལྡནཞིངའཁོར་གསུམ་མི་རྟོག་པའི། །ཤེས་རབསྒོམརྒྱལ་སྲསལག་ལེནཡིན 

[AP] The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to cultivate wisdom,

Beyond the three conceptual spheres, alongside skilful means,

Since it is not possible to attain the perfect level of awakening

Through the other five paramitas alone, in wisdom’s absence.


[KM] Without wisdom, the five perfections

Are not enough to attain full awakening.

Cultivate wisdom, endowed with skill

And free from the three domains — this is the practice of a bodhisattva.


[RS] Since the five perfections without wisdom

Cannot bring perfect enlightenment,

Along with skillful means cultivate the wisdom

Which does not conceive the three spheres [as real]—

This is the practice of Bodhisattvas.


[AB] A bodhisattva’s practice is to build up as a habit the discriminating awareness that’s together with methods and which has no conceptions  about the three circles, 

because without discriminating awareness, the five far-reaching attitudes cannot bring about the attainment of complete enlightenment.
