This enlightened aspiration (or Bodhicitta), like a

fertile ground,
If I do not cultivate it, there is no way in attaining
Buddhahood.
Without being indifferent to the accomplishment of
this great cause,
May I sincerely practise the Supreme Dharma.
My own mind, like an agitated monkey,
If I do not train it, there is no way to avoid the conficting
emotions.
Without giving way to all kinds of mad fantasies,
May I sincerely practise the Supreme Dharma.
This attachment to the ego, like an inseparable
shadow,
If I do not abandon it, there is no way to reach the
Land of Bliss.
Without creating ties of friendship with this enemy,
May I sincerely practise the Supreme Dharma.
The fve poisons, like hot embers among the ashes,
If I do not extinguish them, I cannot remain at rest in
the Nature of the Mind.
Without raising venemous serpents in my bosom,
May I sincerely practise the Supreme Dharma.

This character of mine, like the stiff leather of a butter-
sack,
If I do not soften it, my mind will never be able to
merge with the Dharma.
Without spoiling the child that is born from inner me,
May I sincerely practise the Supreme Dharma.
These ingrained bad habits, like the strong tides of a
river,
If I do not stop them, I can never be separated from
those profane actions.
Without selling weapons to the enemy,
May I sincerely practise the Supreme Dharma.
These distractions, like the never-ending ripples of
the water,
If I do not give them up, there is no way to become
frm.
When I am free to choose, without consecrating
myself to Samsara,
May I sincerely practise the Supreme Dharma.
The Gurus blessing, like the warming up of the earth
and waters at springtime,
If I do not receive it, there is no way of recognizing my
own true Nature.
When I set out on the short-cut, without taking the
grand detour,
May I sincerely practise the Supreme Dharma.
