Engaging in the Bodhisattva Deeds:
"From nonvirtue comes suffering;
How can I truly be free of this?"
It is fitting that at all times, day and night,
I think only of this.
[as a causally concordant effect of killing,] a short lifetime;
[as an effect of stealing,] a lack of resources;
[from sexual misconduct,] an unruly spouse;
[from lying,] much slander;
[from divisive speech,] loss of friendships;
[from offensive speech,] hearing unpleasant words;
[from senseless speech,] others not listening to your words;
and [from covetousness, malice, and wrong views] respectively,
predominance of attachment, hostility, and confusion.
Collection of Indicative Verses
If you fear suffering
And do not enjoy it.
Do not commit sinful actions
Either in public or in private.
Whether you have committed sinful actions
Or are committing them.
You will not escape suffering
Even if you tried to run away.
No matter where you stay, there is no place
That karma has not created.
Neither in the sky nor in the ocean.
Nor even a place in the mountains.
