In all actions\, I examine my mental continuum\nAnd the minute a delusion arises\,\nSince it endangers myself and others\,\nI forcefully confront and avert it. \n4. Whenever I see sentient beings who are wicked in nature\nAnd overwhelmed by negative actions and heavy suffering\,\nI hold such rare ones dear\,\nAs if I had found a precious treasure. \n5. When\, out of envy\, others mistreat me\nWith abuse\, insults\, or the like\,\nI accept defeat\nAnd offer the victory to them. \n6. When someone whom I have benefited\nAnd in whom I have great hopes\nGives me terrible harm\,\nI regard them as my virtuous friend. \n7. In short\, both directly and indirectly\,\nI offer every happiness and benefit to all my mothers.\nI secretly take upon myself\nAll their harms and sufferings. \n8. Also\, I do not defile all these practices\nWith the stains of the superstitions of the eight worldly concerns\nAnd by knowing all phenomena to be illusory\,\nWithout trusting in them\, I am freed from bondage.\n\nThis rendition of Kadampa Geshe Langri Thangpa’s Eight Verses of Thought Transformation was translated by Lama Zopa Rinpoche in Everflowing Nectar of Bodhicitta\, Portland: FPMT Inc.\, \nEmail meditate@chandrakirti.co.nz with any queries

Wherever I am and whoever I am with\,\nI always consider myself the lowest of all\nAnd from the depths of my heart\nHold others dear and supreme. \n3. In all actions\, I examine my mental continuum\nAnd the minute a delusion arises\,\nSince it endangers myself and others\,\nI forcefully confront and avert it. \n4. Whenever I see sentient beings who are wicked in nature\nAnd overwhelmed by negative actions and heavy suffering\,\nI hold such rare ones dear\,\nAs if I had found a precious treasure. \n5. When\, out of envy\, others mistreat me\nWith abuse\, insults\, or the like\,\nI accept defeat\nAnd offer the victory to them. \n6. When someone whom I have benefited\nAnd in whom I have great hopes\nGives me terrible harm\,\nI regard them as my virtuous friend. \n7. In short\, both directly and indirectly\,\nI offer every happiness and benefit to all my mothers.\nI secretly take upon myself\nAll their harms and sufferings. \n8. Also\, I do not defile all these practices\nWith the stains of the superstitions of the eight worldly concerns\nAnd by knowing all phenomena to be illusory\,\nWithout trusting in them\, I am freed from bondage.\n\nThis rendition of Kadampa Geshe Langri Thangpa’s Eight Verses of Thought Transformation was translated by Lama Zopa Rinpoche in Everflowing Nectar of Bodhicitta\, Portland: FPMT Inc.\, \nEmail meditate@chandrakirti.co.nz with any queries
