§2 · 第一首诗：把一切生命看得比满愿宝石还珍贵
(1)
May I think of every living being
As more precious than a wish-giving gem
For reaching the ultimate goal,
And so always hold them dear.
（一）
愿我把一切生命
看得比满愿宝石还珍贵，
因为要达到最终的目标，
就永远珍爱他们。
§3 · 第二首诗：把自己看成最低，把对方看成最高
(2)
When I'm with another, wherever we are,
May I see myself as the lowest.
May I hold the other as highest,
From the bottom of my heart.
（二）
不论在哪里，只要和别人在一起，
愿我把自己看成最低的。
愿我打从心底
把对方看成最高的。
§4 · 第三首诗：整天看着自己的意识，负面念头一来就当场止住
(3)
As I go through the day may I watch my mind,
To see if a negative thought has come;
If it does may I stop it right there, with force,
Since it hurts myself and others.
（三）
愿我在一天当中时时看着自己的意识，
看有没有负面的念头出现；
一出现，愿我当场用力把它止住，
因为它伤害我自己，也伤害别人。
§5 · 第四首诗：坏人像金矿一样难得
(4)
At times I will meet bad people,
Tormented by strong bad deeds and pain.
They are hard to find, like a mine of gold;
And so may I hold them dear.
（四）
有时候我会遇到坏人，
他们被强烈的恶业和痛苦折磨着。
这样的人像金矿一样难得；
所以愿我珍爱他们。
§6 · 第五首诗：损失我来承担，好处全给对方
(5)
Some jealous person might do me wrong,
Insult me, or something of the like;
May I learn to take the loss myself,
And offer them all the gain.
（五）
有些嫉妒的人可能会亏待我，
侮辱我，或做出类似的事；
愿我学会自己承担损失，
把所有的好处都献给他们。
§7 · 第六首诗：寄予厚望的人反而伤我最深——把他当作神圣的向导
(6)
There may be times when I turn to someone
With every hope they'll help me,
And instead they do me great wrong;
May I see them as my holy guide.
（六）
有时候我会去找某个人，
满心指望他帮我，
他却反过来重重地伤害我；
愿我把他看成我神圣的向导。
§8 · 第七首诗：把一切帮助与快乐给母亲们，把一切伤害与痛苦暗中扛下
(7)
In brief may I give all help and joy
To my mothers, directly or some other way;
May I take all the hurt and pain of my mothers
In secret upon myself.
（七）
简单说，愿我把一切帮助和快乐
直接或间接地给我的母亲们；
愿我把母亲们所有的伤害和痛苦
暗中扛到自己身上。
§9 · 第八首诗：不被关于事物的八种想法弄脏；看一切如幻象，从执着的锁链中解脱
(8)
May none of this ever be made impure
By the eight ideas of things;
May I see all things are illusion, and free
Myself from the chains of attachment.
（八）
愿这一切永远不被
关于事物的八种想法弄得不净；
愿我看见一切事物都是幻象，
把自己从执着的锁链中解脱出来。
§10 · 译者补充：「关于事物的八种想法」指的是两组「八」
Translator's note. In verse 8, "the eight ideas of things" renders the Tibetan chu gye kyi tokpa (chu — here "thoughts," not "dharmas"; gye — eight; tokpa — ideas). Geshe Michael Roach keeps the phrase deliberately open, because the commentaries read the "eight" in two different ways, and he says both are right:
1. The eight worldly thoughts (jikten chu gye) — being pleased or upset at gain and loss, pleasure and pain, praise and blame, fame and disgrace. This is how Chekawa explained it, about nine hundred years ago. Geshe covers this reading in Class Two. 2. The eight extremes — the eight ways of seeing things as existing from their own side (starting, stopping, and so on, from the opening of Nagarjuna's Root Verses on the Middle Way). This is how the first Changkya Rinpoche (1642–1714) explained it. Geshe covers this reading in Class Three.
The Chinese keeps Geshe's wording rather than replacing it with either set, so that both readings stay available to the reader.
译者补充。第八首诗里的「关于事物的八种想法」，对应藏文 chu gye kyi tokpa（chu——这里指「念头」，不是「法」；gye——八；tokpa——想法）。格西麦可·罗奇故意把这句译得开放，因为各家释论对这个「八」有两种读法，而格西说两种都对：
1. 八种世间念头（jikten chu gye）——对得到与失去、快乐与痛苦、称赞与责怪、名声与毁谤，各自生起的欢喜与不快。这是恰卡瓦在大约九百年前的解释。格西在第二堂课讲这一种。 2. 八边——把事物看成「从它自己那边存在」的八种方式（不生、不灭等等，出自龙树《中论》的开头）。这是第一世章嘉仁波切（1642–1714）的解释。格西在第三堂课讲这一种。
中文保留格西的用词，不用其中任何一组去替换，让两种读法都留给读者。
