| Abstract | Four hundred verses on twenty-six topics offer an inspiring compendium of First Turning teachings shared by all
schools of Buddhism. The nature of mind, self, desire, and ignorance, as well as the beauty of the Buddha, Dharma, and
Sangha are succintly expressed in memorable verses that have been quoted by Buddhist masters for centuries. Vivid images in
verse provide ideal reminders to support Dharma practice in daily life. Translated into English from the Tibetan, which was
translated from the Pali into Tibetan by Gedun Chopel in this century.
Tibetan text on facing pages, word list, and glossary. Adopted for courses at Columbia University and the University of
Toronto.
From the chapter "The Path.": The Tathagatas merely show the way; you must make the effort. Through meditation and
equanimity, you free yourself from the bonds of Mara. "All conditioned things are impermanent." When you truly comprehend
this, you will no longer be afflicted by suffering. This is the path of purity. "All conditioned things are suffering." When
you truly comprehend this, you will no longer be afflicted by suffering. This is the path of purity. "All elements (of
conditioned things) are self-less." When you truly comprehend this, you will no longer be afflicted by suffering. This is
the path of purity. Not getting up when it is time to rise; lazy though young and strong; confused and lackadaisical - how
can the indolent find the path of the wise? Guard your speech and use your mind well. Keep your body from unvirtuous action.
In purifying these 3 paths of action, you rely on the path which was taught by the Rishi. Wonderful qualities arise from
yoga, but they dwindle if you cease your practice. There is progress, and there is loss. Understanding both of these,
increase what is truly positive, and enter in Certainty. Cut down the tree; destroy the whole forest. From the forest danger
arises. If you cut away the trees and the roots, O Monks, you will pass from sorrow.
