- "The ascetic practice of patience is hold patience.It is the excellent way to get beyond suffering, this is the word of the Buddha. For an ordained monk to do harm or to hurt others is not the virtuous practice." ( The following is tentative): " The city of gandharvas, the wheel of existence, or karmic imprints, know them as the great pureland of Sukhavati. Unborn and unagitated from the beginning of no beginning may the ' Auspicious blessings' of taglung Thangpa come! I will what they command, the venerable, incomparable father and his sons, who are no separate from me. May they be capable of purifying the illusions of my mind, and of leading all beings (on the path to liberation). May all be auspicious!"
