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.
