Spanish Dental Recal Letters

Bodhicaryavatara, Shantideva

The benefits of the spirit of enlightenment

the Well-Gone, master of the dharma body,
For the son of the Buddhas
And to all those who deserve to be honored,
I salute with respect.
I will explain in brief, according to the texts,
How to practice the precepts of the bodhisattvas.

I have nothing to say that has not been said before me
And I know nothing about the art of writing.
So without thinking of helping others,
But to accustom my mind, I wrote this book. The

about my faith would find some time magnified,
the point that I get used to this practice virtuous
And those words will fall on
In benefit, too, who have the same fortune me.

it is difficult to find these freedoms and riches
that allow the man to give meaning to his life!
If I can not take advantage now
How can I find authentic again?

Like lightning rends the night
By revealing brightly that darkness veiled,
In exceptional cases, by the power of the Buddhas,
A thought arises in the world worthy moments.

The property is so fragile and evil
Always so powerful that nothing can resist him.
What virtue, if not the spirit of enlightenment
Perfect, could defeat?



The most powerful sages pondered
For many aeons and saw that under
Is the only useful because it allows the endless beings
To gain the bliss without difficulty.

Those who want to end the suffering of existence,
Those who want to dispel evil beings,
Those who want to enjoy multiple pleasures
Should never abandon the spirit of enlightenment.

At the very moment the spirit of enlightenment is born in them,
The most miserable prisoner of samsara
Deserve called "Bodhisattvas"
As the homage of men and gods.

Hold it close, the "Enlightened Mind"
For in the image of the golden elixir,
He has the supreme quality to transform this impure body
winner in body, which is a priceless jewel. If our only

guide, whose intelligence is unlimited
In a fully recognized the great value
You mean you free of all destinies,
Hold the precious jewel of the spirit of enlightenment!

All virtues produce fruit
And exhausted - like plantains.
Only the shaft of the Enlightened Mind
Always gives free fruit stop growing.

As if, under an escort of the brave, they escaped great danger,
In the spirit of enlightenment as a lamp end of time: There are numerous benefits
, and Sudhana The
described the wise Lord Maitreya.

aware that, in short,
The Enlightened Mind has two aspects: First
aspiration to enlightenment,
other hand involvement in the Enlightenment.

As we make the difference between
want to leave and go actually,
The wise understand the difference
in good order.

In the spirit of enlightenment suction
born great fruit even in samsara
But not a continuous stream of merits
As in Awakening the spirit of product assets.

Once we adopt the spirit of enlightenment as it should, with an intention
irreversible
To save
infinite beings in all their sputum.

From this moment the force of springs deserve the highest point
Even if one is asleep or distracted;
Unceasing and multiple
It is as vast as space. This

, the Thus Gone himself taught and demonstrated
logically
In the "Sutra by Recques Subâhu"
For those who yearn for a way lower.

If the thought of removing, By
kindness,
Their headache at some unfathomable beings
Bring merits

What will there be the will to dispel
unfathomable suffering beings
From each
In bringing him to unfathomable qualities?

Our fathers, our mothers and even,
Have they ever had such benevolence?
Gods, Rishis, Brahma himself
Are they capable?

None of them never forma
Was it a dream,
Such desire for himself:
How would he do for others?

If they do not even think to make their own good, why bother
they the good of others?
The appearance of this jewel of the mind is as precious and extraordinary is a marvel
unheard.

source of joy for all beings,
Here is a drink for them against suffering:
How can we measure all the merits
What holds this precious state of mind?

For if the mere thought to help a
is more sublime than to honor the Buddhas,
So what about the effort that we make
To bring happiness to everyone without exception?

While wishing him escape
We throw ourselves in suffering;
We aspire to happiness, but, through ignorance, destroy the
as if it were our enemy.

Of all the joys it fills the
be deprived of happiness
abolishes the suffering of those
Qu'affligent all suffering;

And he dispels their ignorance
What virtue is his?
Where to find such a friend? How
such merits are possible?

If we begin with praise of those who make the
good for good,
What will there be
bodhisattvas who do good without being requested ?

If there is any virtue in the act of taking
On his own daily food to nourish,
With the utmost contempt, a handful of people
A half-day of their lives,

What will there be then he who gives
Constantly infinite beings
The unsurpassable felicity of well-traveled
And fulfilling all their wishes?

Whoever, in the place of these benefactors
Heirs of the victors, nourishes evil thoughts,
That one, "said the Sage, will remain in hell So many aeons
he has had these thoughts.

But who put them in his faith
reap greater abundance of fruit
For, in the heart of the adversity, the Bodhisattvas
never do evil and virtue grows spontaneously.

To those who hold the supreme jewel of the mind,
I pay tribute to my prostrations;
In these sources of happiness which make you happy
Even those that harm them, I take refuge.
