There
is no individual liberation without abandoning harm to others;
There is no
awakening of bodhicitta without compassion for others;
One is not a practitioner
of secret mantra without pure vision;
There is no realization without destroying
delusions.
To fall in one direction
is not the View;
To concentrate on an object is not meditation;
To act in
a hypocritical way is not action;
The fruit does not ripen if one has attachments
and hopes.
Refuge belongs to those
who hold faith,
The enlightened mind arises in those who have compassion,
Realization,
to those with wisdom,
Blessings, to the devoted.
Those
who know shame know what is to be abandoned;
Those with renumciation will maintain
a moral discipline;
Those who maintain moral discipline keep samaya and proper
conduct;
Those who keep samaya and proper conduct achieve realization.
A
peaceful and tamed mind is the sign of having listened to the teachings.
A
decrease in emotion is the sign of genuine meditation.
A flexible mind, open-hearted
toward all beings, is the sign of a real practitioner.
A serene mind is the
sign of genuine realization.
Mind
is the source of the Dharma.
If you tame your mind, you are a practitioner.
If
you are a real practitioner, your mind is tamed.
When your mind is tamed, this
is liberation.
