So I'll post snippets on here , most like 4-10 stanzas, while on the other thread I'll just re-tell the story, paraphrase it so speak.
1
In order to seize that precious mind
I offer now to the Tathagatas,
To the sacred Dharma, the stainless jewel,
And to the Sons of Buddha, the oceans of
excellence,
2
Whatever flowers and fruits there are
And whatever kinds of medicine,
Whatever jewels exist in this world
And whatever clean refreshing waters;
3
Likewise gem-encrusted mountains,
Forest groves, quiet and joyful places,
Heavenly trees bedecked. with flowers
And trees with fruit-laden branches;
4
Fragrances of the celestial realms,
Incense, wishing trees and jewel trees,
Uncultivated harvests, and all ornaments
That are worthy to be offered;
this is fairly normal,
55
Being very resolute and faithful,
Steady, respectful, polite,
and
peaceful,
I should strive to make others happy.
ch. 5
19
Just as I would be attentive and careful of a
wound
When amidst a bustling uncontrolled crowd,
So I should always guard the wound of my
mind
When dwelling among harmful people.
ch.5
75
I should say, “Well said,” to all those
Who speak Dharma well,
And if I see someone doing good
I should praise him and be well pleased.
76
I should discreetly talk about the good
qualities of others
And repeat those that others recount.
If my own good qualities are spoken about
I should just know and be aware that I have
them.
77
All deeds of others are the source of a joy
That would be rare even if it could be bought
with money.
Therefore I should be happy in finding this
joy
In the good things that are done by others.
these were already sort of selected so it was easy to just share them here
