Even if someone driven by excessive desire steals all your wealth
Or incites someone else to steal it,
To dedicate to this person your body, possessions
And all your virtues of the three times is the practice of a Bodhisattva.

If someone cuts off your head
Even when you have not done the slightest wrong,
Through the power of compassion,
To take their misdeeds upon yourself is the practice of a Bodhisattva.

Should someone slander you
And proclaim it in a billion worlds,
In return, with a loving heart,
To proclaim their good qualities is the practice of a Bodhisattva.

If, in the midst of a crowd,
Someone exposes your hidden faults and abuses you for them,
To bow to them with respect,
Seeing them as a spiritual teacher is the practice of a Bodhisattva.

If someone whom you cherish as dearly as your own child
Takes you for an enemy,
Then, like a mother who loves her sick child,
To love that person even more is the practice of a Bodhisattva.

Even when someone who is your equal or inferior,
Driven by arrogance seeks to disparage you,
To place them on the crown of your head
With the same respect as you would accord your Guru is the practice of a Bodhisattva.
