All appearances are your own mind,
And mind itself primordially transcends all mental fabrications.
Knowing this, and to remain free from apprehending
The signs of subject and object is the practice of a Bodhisattva.
When you encounter objects that please your mind,
Like rainbows in the summer season,
Though they seem beautiful, not to view them as real
And to give up attachment to them is the practice of a Bodhisattva.
All suffering is like the death of your child in a dream:
To take such delusive appearances as true, how exhausting!
Therefore, whenever you encounter unpleasant circumstances,
To see them as deceptions is the practice of a Bodhisattva.
