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.
