།དལ་འབྱོར་རྙེད་དཀའ་ཚེ་ལ་ལོང་མེད་པ། །ཡིད་ལ་གོམས་པས་ཚེ་འདིའི་སྣང་ཤས་ལྡོག །ལས་འབྲས་མི་བསླུ་འཁོར་བའི་སྡུག་བསྔལ་རྣམས། །ཡང་ཡང་བསམ་པས་ཕྱི་མའི་སྣང་ཤས་ལྡོག [ZR] Freedom and endowments are difficult to find By thinking over and over again [AP] The freedoms and advantages are rare, and there’s no time to waste— Reflect on this again and yet again, and dispel attachment to this life. To dispel attachment to your future lives, contemplate repeatedly The unfailing effects of karma and the sufferings of samsara. [GW] Leisure and opportunity are difficult to find. There is no time to waste: reverse attraction to this life Of the infallible effects of karma and the miseries of this world. [US] The fancies of this life are banished by keeping in mind That we have no time to spare of opportunities and advantages hard to find; The fancies of the hereafter are banished by repeatedly thinking Of acts and their fruits infallible, the miseries of the Round. [RT] Leisure and opportunity are hard to get, And there is no time to life; keep thinking on this, And you will turn off your interest in this life! |
