Je Tsong Khapa, Lobsang Drakpa (1357–1419)
“Swept away by the current of the four powerful rivers,
Tied by the tight bonds of karma, so hard to undo,
Caught in the iron net of self-grasping,
Completely enveloped by the total darkness of ignorance,
Endlessly reborn in cyclic existence,
Ceaselessly tormented by the three sufferings –
Thinking that all mothers are in such a condition,
Generate the supreme mind of enlightenment.’
Verse 7-8 from The Three Principal Aspects of the Path by Lama Tsong Khapa. Translated by Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Available on-line from FPMT.
