Eight Verses for Training the Mind
By Geshe Langri Tangpa (1054-1093)

1
With the wish to achieve the highest aim,
Which surpasses even a wish-fulfilling gem,
I will train myself to at all times
Cherish every sentient being as supreme.
 2
Whenever I interact with others,
I will view myself as inferior to all;
And I will train myself
To hold others superior from the depths of my heart.
 3
During all my activities I will probe my mind,
And as soon as an affliction arises-
Since it endangers myself and others-
I will train myself to confront it directly and avert it.
 4
When I encounter beings of unpleasant character
And those oppressed by intense negative karma andsuffering,
As though finding a treasure of precious jewels,
I will train myself to cherish them, for they are so rarely found.
 5
When others out of jealousy
Treat me wrongly with abuse and slander,
I will train to take the defeat upon myself
And offer the victory to others.
 6
Even if one whom I have helped,
Or in whom I have placed great hope,
Gravely mistreats me in hurtful ways,
I will train myself to view him as my sublime teacher.
 7
In brief, I will train myself to offer benefit and joy
To all my mother, both directly and indirectly,
And respectfully take upon my self
All the hurts and pains of my mothers.
 8
By ensuring that all this remains undefiled
From the stains of the eight mundane concerns,
And by understanding all things as illusions.
I will train myself to be free of the bondage of clinging.

*eight mundane concerns
    gain-loss, pleasure-pain, praise-blame, fame-dishonor

修睿八頌
金剛獅子大善友著,嘎檔赤慶〔大座(教主)〕獎秋提雷洛桑饒結苡謝炯內
(菩提精點睿賢甚盛慧源。亦稱：第廿五世大乘法王蓮花戲遊金剛)
從藏文譯為漢文

吾乃對於諸具心   是較如意寶更勝 
以辦最勝義之想   於勝持珍愛而學 
(最勝義：最殊勝之事，即指醒盛。於勝：恆常)

於何與誰為伴時     視己諸中為卑劣
並且於他從內心     以敬持為勝而學

於諸行為察己續     且生煩惱便立即
令自他作惡毒時     頓時從始遮而學

以秉性惡之具心     及猛罪苦逼迫時
猶如值遇珍寶藏     難得故持惜而學

以他於我以嫉妒     責罵謗等非理之
失敗由我自己取     勝利奉獻他而學

於何被吾已利之     懷大希望若以彼
至極無理作傷害     亦視勝親友而學

總之直或間接之     利樂無餘獻於諸
母之害及痛苦皆     己以恭敬取而學

彼等悉皆亦不被     八法思想垢沾染
而以知諸法為幻     從貪婪繫脫而學
