།རྩུབ་མོའི་ཚིག་གིས་གཞན་སེམས་འཁྲུག་འགྱུར་ཞིང༌། །རྒྱལ་བའི་སྲས་ཀྱི་སྤྱོད་ཚུལ་ཉམས་འགྱུར་བས། །དེ་ཕྱིར་གཞན་གྱི་ཡིད་དུ་མི་འོང་བའི། །ཚིག་རྩུབ་སྤོང་བ་རྒྱལ་སྲས་ལག་ལེན་ཡིན། [AP] The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to avoid harsh words, Which others might find unpleasant or distasteful, Since abusive language upsets the minds of others, And thereby undermines a bodhisattva’s conduct. [KM] Abusive language upsets others And undermines the ethics of a bodhisattva. So, don’t upset people or Speak abusively — this is the practice of a bodhisattva. [RS] Harsh words disturb the minds of others And cause deterioration in a Bodhisattva’s conduct. Therefore give up harsh words Which are unpleasant to others— This is the practice of Bodhisattvas. [AB] A bodhisattva’s practice is to rid ourselves of harsh language displeasing to the minds of others, because harsh words disturb others’ minds and cause our bodhisattva ways of behavior to decline. |
