Atisha's lo-jong teachings


*
   *
       *
Abandon sleepiness, dullness and laziness
And always exert enthusiastic effort,
With recollection, alertness and watchfullness
Always guard every door of the senses...
Conquer anger and arrogance
And possess a humble mind...
Whenever a pompous mind arises,
Flatten such arrogance;
Recall the teachings of your master,
When a cowardly mind arises,
Praise the sublimity of the mind,
Whenever objects of attraction or aversion arise,
Meditate upon emptiness of both;
View them as illusions and emanations.
When hearing any offensive words,
View them as an echo...
Always stabilize [awareness of] your yidam and,
Whenever laziness or lassitude arise,
Enumerate these faults to yourself
And feel remorse from your heart...
When giving advice to others,
Have compassion and thoughts for their benefit.
Do not disparage spiritual doctrines
And be intent on whichever you admire...
Examine your speech when amidst many people.
Examine your mind when living alone.
