Eight Verses for Training the Mind - Verse 8
10/25/2022
དེ་དག་ཀུན་ཀྱང་ཆོས་བརྒྱད་ཀྱི། ། རྟོག་པའི་དྲི་མས་མ་སྦགས་ཤིང༌།
། ཆོས་ཀུན་སྒྱུ་མར་ཤེས་པའི་བློས། ། ཞེན་མེད་འཆིང་བ་ལས་གྲོལ་ཤོག །
May all this remain undefiled
By the stains of the eight mundane concerns;
And may I, recognizing all things as illusion,
Devoid of clinging, be released from bondage.

And as soon as mental and emotional afflictions arise
As they endanger myself and others
May I strongly confront them and avert them.
