The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva

4 (Translated from Tibetan verses into English by Ari Goldfield.)
6 (Under the guidance of Khenpo Tsltrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, translated by Ari Goldfield.

8 permission, which can be obtained by contacting Marpa Foundation at the email address found

NoteI would like to show many appreciations from my deepest heat to dear Mr. Ari
12 Goldfield. This was the first time to meet him, when my students and me had together attended
the teachings course of Khenpo Tsltrim Gyamtso Rinpoche in Taipei on Feb., 2006. I was very
14 inspired by his wisdom, compassion and English translation. At the same year, we met
delightedly at the Kagyur Monal activity in the Bodhigaya, India. I felt very honorably to get
16 his very kindly oral permission of using this English translation without any document for
Buddhist propagation of SBA website and my personal lecture. Hence, I really appreciated to
18 Mr. Ari Goldfield and Marpa Foundation again which they contributed to Buddhism and all
beings without any rewards in the way of dharma-purity.
20
(A.) Namo Lokeshvaraya.
22 You see that all phenomena neither come nor go,
Still you strive solely for the benefit of beings,
24 Supreme guru and protector Chenrezik,
To you I continually bow with respect, with body, speech, and mind.
26
(B.)The perfect buddhas, sources of benefit and happiness,
28 Arise from accomplishing the genuine Dharma.
Since that in turn depends upon knowing how to practice Dharma,
30 The practices of a bodhisattva shall now be explained.
32 Now that you have attained a human body endowed

with freedoms and resources, a great ship so difficult to find,
34 In order to free yourself and others from samsaras ocean,

2 Day and night, to listen, reflect, and meditate without distraction

Is the practice of a bodhisattva. (1)
4
Desire for friends churns like water,
6 Anger towards enemies burns like fire,
In stupiditys darkness, you forget what to adopt and what to reject
8 To abandon your homeland is the practice of a bodhisattva. (2)
10 Giving up negative places, disturbing emotions gradually decrease,

With no distractions, virtuous activities naturally increase,
12 When mind becomes clear, certainty in the Dharma is born
To rely on solitude is the practice of a bodhisattva. (3)
14
Old friends and relatives will separate,
16 Material possessions gained through exertion will be left behind,
Like a guest leaving a guesthouse, consciousness will leave the body
18 To give up attachment to this life is the practice of a bodhisattva. (4)
20 When friendship with someone causes your three poisons to increase,

Degrades your activities of listening, reflecting, and meditating,
22 And destroys your loving kindness and compassion,
To dissociate from such a negative friendship is the practice of a bodhisattva.
24 (5)
26 When in reliance on someone your defects wane,

And your positive qualities grow like the waxing moon,
28 To cherish such a virtuous friend even more than your own body
30
Bound themselves in the prison of samsara,
32 Whom can the worldly gods protect?
Therefore, to seek refuge from the undeceiving Three Rare and Supreme
34 Jewels
36
The suffering of the lower realms, so difficult to bear,

SBA

Three Attitudes
:

2 Is the result of negative actions, so the Buddha taught.

Therefore, even at the cost of your life,
4 To never commit negative actions is the practice of a bodhisattva. (8)
6 Like dew on the tip of a blade of grass,

Happiness in the three realms evaporates in a single instant.
8 To strive for the supreme state of liberation that never changes
10 Since beginningless time your mothers have cared for you
If they now suffer, what good is your own happiness?
12 Therefore, in order to liberate limitless sentient beings,
Giving rise to bodhichitta is the practice of a bodhisattva. (10)
14
All suffering comes from yearning for your own happiness;
16 The perfect buddhas are born from the intention to benefit others.
Therefore, to genuinely exchange your own happiness for the suffering of
18 others
20
Even if someone driven by intense craving steals all your wealth,
22 Or incites someone else to steal it,
To dedicate to that person your body, possessions, and all your virtue of the
24 three times
26
If someone cuts off your head
28 Even though you have not done the slightest thing wrong,
Through the power of compassion, to take their misdeeds upon yourself
30 Is the practice of a bodhisattva. (13)
32 If someone slanders you throughout a billion worlds,

Then in return, with a heart full of love,
34 To proclaim their good qualities
36
If in the middle of a crowd of people,

SBA

Three Attitudes
:


17
2 Someone reveals your hidden faults and abuses you for them,
To see them as your virtuous teacher and to bow to them with respect
6 If someone whom you cherish as dearly as your own child takes you for an
enemy,
8 Then like a mother whose child is sick,
To love that person even more
12 Even when someone who is your equal or inferior

Comes under the power of pride and defames you,
14 To place them on the crown of your head with the same respect
you would accord your guru
18 Though gripped by poverty and always scorned,

Though stricken by disease and tormented by harmful spirits,
20 To take upon yourself the negativity and suffering of all wandering beings,
And never to get discouraged is the practice of a bodhisattva. (18)
22
Though famous and prominent, someone to whom others bow,
24 Though you amass the riches of a god of wealth,
To see that worldly splendor has no essence, and thus to be without arrogance
28 If you have not tamed the enemy of your own anger,

Fighting outer enemies will only make them multiply.
30 Therefore, with an army of loving-kindness and compassion,
To tame your own mind is the practice of a bodhisattva. (20)
32
Sense pleasures are like salt water
34 The more you partake of them, the more your craving increases.
Therefore, when something arouses attachment,
36 To abandon it immediately is the practice of a bodhisattva. (21)

SBA

Three Attitudes
:


18
2 All appearances are your own mind,

And minds nature is originally beyond concept.
4 Knowing this is the precise nature of reality,
To remain free from dualistic concepts is the practice of a bodhisattva. (22)
6
When you encounter objects that please your mind,
8 Know they are like summer rainbows
Though they seem beautiful, to see they are not real,
10 And to give up attachment to them is the practice of a bodhisattva. (23)
12 All your suffering is like the death of your child in a dream

To take such delusive appearances as real is exhausting.
14 Therefore, whenever you encounter unpleasant circumstances,
To see them as delusive appearances is the practice of a bodhisattva. (24)
16
If those who aspire to enlightenment must willingly give away their own
18 bodies,
What need to mention external objects?
20 Therefore, with no hope for personal reward or benefit,
To be generous is the practice of a bodhisattva. (25)
22
If lack of ethics prevents you from benefitting yourself,
24 Then your wish to benefit others is just a joke.
Therefore, to have ethics free from worldly desires
28 For a bodhisattva who wishes to enjoy a wealth of virtue,

Every harm experienced is like a precious treasure.
30 Therefore, without getting irritated by anything at all,
To cultivate patience is the practice of a bodhisattva. (27)
32
When you see shravakas and pratyekabuddhas, who strive for their own
34 benefit alone,
Expend effort as if to extinguish a fire burning on their heads,
36 Then for the benefit of all wandering beings,
To cultivate joyous diligence, the wellspring of positive qualities,

2 is the practice of a bodhisattva. (28)
4 Knowing that when vipashyana is perfectly endowed with shamatha,

This completely conquers all disturbing emotions,
6 To cultivate concentration that transcends the four formless states
8
Without wisdom, the first five transcendent practices do not lead to perfect
10 enlightenment.
Therefore, to cultivate wisdom, endowed with skillful methods
12 And free from concepts of the three spheres,
14
If you do not examine your mind for confusion,
16 You might put on a Dharmic faade while behaving in a non-Dharmic way.
Therefore, to continuously examine your mind for confusion and eliminate it
20 If, compelled by your own disturbing emotions,

you speak of the faults of other bodhisattvas,
22 You yourself become flawed.
Therefore, to avoid discussing the faults of those who have entered the
24 Mahayana path
26
Honor and reverence produce quarreling,
28 And cause the activities of listening, reflecting, and meditating to deteriorate.
Therefore, to relinquish attachment to the homes of friends, relatives, and
30 sponsors
32
When you speak harshly, it disturbs the minds of others
34 And causes your own bodhisattva conduct to deteriorate.
Therefore, to refrain from harsh and unpleasant speech

SBA

Three Attitudes
:

2 When you become accustomed to the disturbing emotions,

they are hard to cure with antidotes.
4 Therefore, with the remedies of mindfulness and introspection,
The moment that disturbing emotions arise,
6 To smooth them out is the practice of a bodhisattva. (35)
8 In brief, wherever you are and whatever you do,

Always examine the state of your mind.
10 With steady mindfulness and introspection,
To benefit others is the practice of a bodhisattva. (36)
12
In order to dispel the suffering of limitless wandering beings,
14 Then with wisdom free from concepts of the three spheres,
To dedicate to enlightenment the merit accumulated through these practices
18 Relying on what is taught in the sutras, tantras, treatises,

And the words of the genuine masters,
20 I have composed these thirty-seven bodhisattva practices
For the benefit of those who wish to train on the bodhisattvas path.(C.)
22
Because my intelligence is inferior and my studies few,
24 I cannot compose poetry pleasing to scholars.
Yet, since these verses are based on the sutras and the teachings of the
26 genuine masters,
I believe these bodhisattva practices are not mistaken.(D.)
28
Nevertheless, for one with an inferior intellect such as mine,
30 The vast conduct of a bodhisattva is difficult to fathom,
So I pray to the genuine masters to consider with patience
32 My contradictions, inconsistencies, and any other mistakes I have made.(E.)
34 By virtue of the merit gathered here,

Through the power of relative and genuine bodhichitta,
36 May all wandering beings be liberated from the extremes of existence and
peace,

Noted and written by Shinhong himselfIn this lecture, there are many people to be
18 appreciated from my deepest heart. Especially, I would like to give a special thank to Ven.
Jin-Shuang Master who is a very professional translator. After have gotten his kindly
20 permission by e-mail for the dharma usage of SBA website and my personal lecture, his
translation now seems to me as the most perfect one, although he has always been extremely
22 for many dharma works.
However, under his contribution of translation by working as day and night, the translation of
24 the very popular text entitled as Thirty-Seven Practices of All Buddhas Sons seems to show
up the best Chinese version, especially included the both versions of the Classical Chinese and
26 Modern Chinese as well as the detailed subtitles of the whole text. Therefore, through the real
situation which master contributed to Buddhism and all being without any reward, this is now
28 a special opportunity for all Buddhist followers to worship and appreciate to his translation as

Hence, at the same time of appreciation, I would like to follow the path very delightedly which

very honored to take this special chance by my personal vows for translating his the subtitles

and to achieve the enlightenment of Buddhahood together.
