།རྙེད་བཀུར་དབང་གིས་ཕན་ཚུན་རྩོད་འགྱུར་ཞིང༌། །ཐོས་བསམ་སྒོམ་པའི་བྱ་བ་ཉམས་འགྱུར་བས། །མཛའ་བཤེས་ཁྱིམ་དང་སྦྱིན་བདག་ཁྱིམ་རྣམས་ལ། །ཆགས་པ་སྤོང་བ་རྒྱལ་སྲས་ལག་ལེན་ཡིན། [AP] The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to let go of attachment To the households of benefactors and of family and friends, Since one’s study, reflection and meditation will all diminish When one quarrels and competes for honours and rewards. [KM] When you squabble with others about status and rewards, You undermine learning, reflection, and meditation. Let go of any investment in your family circle Or the circle of those who support you — this is the practice of a bodhisattva. [RS] Reward and respect cause us to quarrel And make hearing, thinking, and meditation decline. For this reason give up attachment to The households of friends, relations and benefactors— This is the practice of Bodhisattvas. [AB] A bodhisattva’s practice is to rid ourselves of attachment to homes of relatives and friends and homes of patrons, because, under the power of (wanting) gain and respect, we will quarrel with each other and our activities of listening, thinking, and meditating will decline. |
