Wishing to attain enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings who excel even a wish-fulfilling Jewel, may I constantly cherish them all!  Explain

Verse 1: Commentary Cherishing and caring for others is the source of all happiness. Cherishing ourselves over others is the source of all suffering and negative conditions in this world. Therefore, our determination to attain enlightenment should always be motivated by our heartfelt desire to serve the welfare of all living beings. The attainment of enlightenment is the supreme goal. Our enlightenment comes from the cultivation of bodhichitta (the awakening mind of love, compassion, and wisdom). Bodhichitta arises from our deepest compassion. To develop this compassion and reach the supreme goal, we need others. In this way, all living beings are the principle source for our spiritual development and for accomplishing the supreme goal of enlightenment. In addition, at some time each of us has been, and will be, a source of great kindness and benefit for one another. The immense kindness of all living beings is integral to our own human existence. Considering this, we can understand how living beings are even more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel and that we should always cherish them and hold them dear.

Verse 8

།དེ་དག་ཀུན་ཀྱང་ཆོས་བརྒྱད་ཀྱི། །རྟོག་པའི་དྲི་མས་མ་སྦགས་ཤིང། ཆོས་ཀུན་སྒྱུ་མར་ཤེས་པའི་བློས། །ཞེན་མེད་འཆིང་བ་ལས་གྲོལ་ཤོག།

In all this, may my mind be unstained by the eight ordinary concerns and know all things to be an illusion! Free of clinging, may I attain liberation from bondage!  Explain

Verse 8: Commentary It is essential that our spiritual practice not be defiled or stained by the eight worldly concerns. For example, engaging in these practices hoping to be recognized or praised as an excellent dharma practitioner is not the right motivation. Nor should we practice with expectations of gaining something special or pleasurable for ourselves. Our motivation for practice must not become polluted or obscured by worldly concerns and attachment. The right motivation is to act exclusively and compassionately for the benefit of other beings. Our mind training practice must also be unified with our direct perception of ultimate truth—emptiness. As we gain realization of ultimate truth, we understand the empty, illusory, and impermanent nature of all existing things. With this realization, grasping or clinging to external appearances, or being deceived by them, diminishes, and we gain liberation from the bondage of attachment and mistaken views of reality.

Trong mọi tình huống khi giáp mặt với cuộc đời, nguyện cho tâm con không bị ô nhiểm bởi tám ngọn gió đời (được/thua, sướng/khổ, khen/chê, danh/nhục) vì biết rằng các pháp vốn như huyễn, tâm không ràng buộc và tham luyến! nguyện cho con thoát ly ra khỏi chốn ngục tù!
