“Ambrosia for the Mind” – Continued

Part Two – Continued, Good in the Middle: the Main Subject of the Text, which has seven subdivisions

6. The Commitments of Mind Training
May the precious masters grant their blessings,
So that I may keep my promises without hypocrisy,
And always remain impartial, and free of ostentation,
Guarding the lojong commitments as I do my very life.

7. The Precepts for Mind Training
In short, may the precious masters grant their blessings,
So that I may genuinely follow all the precepts
For increasing the two aspects of bodhichitta,
And within this lifetime gain the realization of the supreme vehicle.

Comment: There’s a lot here. This is a prayer based on The Seven Point Mind Training brought to Tibet by the great Indian master, Atisha (The Collected Works of Dilgo Khyentse, Volume One. SHAMBHALA*Boulder*2010, pg 105). I highly recommend reading The Collected Works of Dilgo Khyentse, and similar texts to better understand these teachings. If you can, find a teacher with an authentic lineage. Dedicated to your happiness – Mark
