GZPB-8 < GZPB-9 Gyalse Tokme Zangpo - The Thirty-Seven Practices of All the Bodhisattvas > GZPB-10


སྲིད་གསུམབདེ་བརྩྭ་རྩེའི་ཟིལ་པབཞིན། །ཡུད་ཙམ་ཞིགགིསའཇིགས་པི་ཆོས་ཅནཡིན། །ནམ་ཡངམི་འགྱུརཐར་པི་གོ་འཕངམཆོག །དོན་དུ་གཉེར་བརྒྱལ་སྲསལག་ལེནཡིན

[AP] The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to strive towards the goal,

Which is the supreme state of changeless, everlasting liberation,

Since all the happiness of the three realms lasts but a moment,

And then is quickly gone, just like dewdrops on blades of grass.


[KM] The happiness of the three worlds disappears in a moment,

Like a dewdrop on a blade of grass.

The highest level of freedom is one that never changes.

Aim for this — this is the practice of a bodhisattva.


[RS] Like dew on the tip of a blade of grass, pleasures of the three worlds

Last only a while and then vanish.

Aspire to the never-changing

Supreme state of liberation—This is the practice of Bodhisattvas.


[AB] A bodhisattva’s practice is to take keen interest in the supreme never-changing state of liberation,

as the pleasures of the three planes of compulsive existence are phenomena that perish in a mere instant, 

like dew on the tips of grass.
