Eight Verses for Training the Mind
By Kadampa Geshe Langritangpa
1. May I always cherish all beingsWith the resolve to accomplish for themThe highest good that is more preciousThan any wish-fulfilling jewel.
2. Whenever I am in the company of others,May I regard myself as inferior to allAnd from the depths of my heartCherish others as supreme.
3. In all my actions may I watch my mind,And as soon as disturbing emotions arise,May I forcefully stop them at once,Since they will hurt both me and others.
4. When I see ill-natured people,Overwhelmed by wrong deeds and pain,May I cherish them as something rare,As though I had found a treasure-trove.
5. When someone out of envy does me wrongBy insulting me and the like,May I accept defeatAnd offer the victory to them.
6. Even if someone whom I have helpedAnd in whom I have placed my hopesDoes great wrong by harming me,May I see them as an excellent spiritual friend.
7. In brief, directly or indirectly,May I give all help and joy to my mothers,And may I take all their harm and painSecretly upon myself.
8. May none of this ever be sulliedBy thoughts of the eight worldly concerns,May I see all things as illusionsAnd, without attachment, gain freedom from bondage.
