बोधिचित्तानुशंसः प्रथमः परिच्छेदः
The Excellence of Bodhichitta
Homage to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
1.To those who go in bliss, the dharmakāya they possess, and all their heirs,
To all those worthy of respect, I reverently bow.
According to the scriptures, I shall now in brief describe
The practice of the Bodhisattva discipline.
2.Here I shall say nothing that has not been said before,
And in the art of prosody I have no skill.
I therefore have no thought that this might be of benefit to others;
I wrote it only to habituate my mind.
3.My faith will thus be strengthened for a little while,
That I might grow accustomed to this virtuous way.
But others who now chance upon my words
May profit also, equal to myself in fortune.
4.So hard to find the ease and wealth28
Whereby the aims of beings may be gained.
If now I fail to turn it to my profit,
How could such a chance be mine again?
5.Just as on a dark night black with clouds,
The sudden lightning glares and all is clearly shown,
Likewise rarely, through the Buddhas’ power,
Virtuous thoughts rise, brief and transient, in the world. .......
