The Eight Verses on Transforming the Mind


 
With a determination to achieve the highest aim,

For the benefit of all sentient beings,

Which surpases even the wish-fullfilling gem,

May I hold them dear at all times.


 
Whenever I interact with someone,

May I view myself as the lowest amongst all,

And, from the very depths of my heart,

Respectfully hold others as superior.


 
In all my deeds may I probe into my mind,

And as soon as mental and emotional afflictions arise-

As the endanger myself and others-

May I strongly confront them and avert them.


 
When I see beings of unpleasant character

Opressed by strong negativity and suffering,

May I hold them dear-for they are rere to find-

As if I have discovered a jewel treasure!

 

When others, out of jealously

Treat me wrongly with abuse, slander, and scorn,

May I take upon myself the defeat

And offer to others the victory.


 
When someone whom i have helped,

Or in whom I have placed great hopes,

Mistreates me in extremely hurtful ways,

May I reguard him still as my precious teacher.

 

In breif, may I offer benefit and joy

To all my mothers, both directly and indirectly,

May I quietly take upon myself

All hurts and pains of my mothers.

 

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.
