The Thirty-Seven Practices of All the Bodhisattvas by Gyalse Tokme Zangpo Verse 34 The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to avoid harsh words, Which others might find unpleasant or distasteful, Since abusive language upsets the minds of others, And thereby undermines a bodhisattva’s conduct. Verse 35 The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to slay attachment And the rest—mind’s afflictions—at once, the very moment they arise, Taking as weapons the remedies held with mindfulness and vigilance. For once the kleshas have become familiar, they’ll be harder to avert. Verse 36 In short, no matter what one might be doing, By examining always the status of one’s mind, With continuous mindfulness and alertness, To bring about the good of others—this is the practice of all the bodhisattvas. Verse 37 The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to dedicate towards enlightenment All the virtue to be gained through making effort in these ways, With wisdom that is purified entirely of the three conceptual spheres, So as to dispel the sufferings of the infinity of beings.
