THE SIX PITH INSTRUCTION Patrul Rinpoche (1808 – 1887) Prefer to be in suffering rather than happiness. Happiness will give rise to five poison obscurations. Suffering will reduce karmic accumulated non-virtues. Suffering is the blessings of guru. Prefer to be condemn then praised. Praising will give rise to pride, egotism and self-infatuation. Condemnation will let realize own mistakes. Public mouth gossip is the gift of god. Prefer to be low profile then high profile, High profile will give rise to jealousy and pride, Low profile will develop to spiritual practice and harmonious. Low profile stay is the monastic’s centre for sublime masters. Prefer to be robbed then offered. Generosity gift will increase the load of our karmic debt. If robbed our karmic debt will reduce. Contentment is the universal wealth of realised beings. Prefer to be poor then rich, If rich, suffering of saving and safety is high. If poor, chances of accumulating dharma and austere is more. Beggarly body is the focal point to practioner. Love enemy, then relatives, Relatives are obstacles to enlightenment path. Enemies can be source of patience. These tastes are essential point of practice. THE EIGHT VERSES OF MIND TRAINING Geshe Langri Thangpa (1054 – 1123) With the determination to accomplish The highest welfare of all sentient beings, Who excel even the wish-fulling jewel, May I at all times hold them dear. Whenever I associate with someone, May I think myself as the lowest of all, And hold the other supreme In the depth of my heart. In all actions may I search into my mind, And as soon as delusions arise, Endangering myself and others, May I firmly face and avert them. When I see beings of wicked nature, Oppressed by violent afflictions and pain, May I hold these rare ones dear As if I had found a precious treasure. When others out of envy treat me badly With abuse, slander and the like, May I suffer the defeat And offer the victory to them. When one whom I have benefited with great hope Hurts me very badly, May I behold him As my precious teacher. In short, may I directly and indirectly offer Benefits and happiness to all my mothers. May I secretly take upon myself The harm and suffering of mothers. May all this remain undefiled by the stain Of keeping in view the eight worldly concerns. May I, by perceiving all dharmas as illusive, Unattached be delivered from the bondage of samsara.
