The Thirty-Seven Practices of All the Bodhisattvas
by Gyalse Tokme Zangpo
Verses 25-26
The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to give out of
generosity,
With no hopes of karmic recompense or expectation of reward.
For if those who seek awakening must give even their own
bodies,
What need is there to mention mere outer objects and
possessions?
The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to observe ethical
restraint,
Without the slightest intention of continuing in saṃsāric
existence.
For lacking discipline one will never secure even one’s own
wellbeing,
And so any thought of bringing benefit to others would be
absurd.
