द्वे भावनामयं क्षान्तिध्याने वीर्यं तु सर्वगम्
dve bhāvanāmayaṃ kṣāntidhyāne vīryaṃ tu sarvagam
ཚུལ་ཁྲིམས་ལས་བྱུང་ཚུལ་ཁྲིམས་ཡིན། །
བཟོད་དང་བསམ་གཏན་གཉིས་དག་ནི། །
སྒོམ་བྱུང་བརྩོན་འགྲུས་ཀུན་ཏུ་འགྲོ། །
Discipline is declared to arise from discipline,
The pair of patience and dhyāna arises
From meditation, and vigor is present in all.
- Le mérite né du don, c’est la générosité,
- Et le mérite né de la moralité, la discipline ;
- La patience et la concentration sont toutes deux
- des effets de la méditation.
- La persévérance peut s’appliquer à toutes.
