高尚之士们,肩负着从无边无际的痛苦之海中解救无量众生的重任,即使在无数劫中,身心遭受痛苦的折磨,也丝毫没有厌倦,即使在三千大千世界充满熊熊燃烧的烈火之中,也努力从善知识那里寻求教诲和指导。因此,也应赞叹精进。菩萨们甚至不顾自己的身体和生命,用血肉和骨骼来侍奉佛法和说法者,更何况是施舍财物呢?因此,也应赞叹对宣讲大乘佛法的善知识的恭敬供养和布施的功德。发誓证得无上菩提的伟大英雄们,自从发起菩提心之后,直到证得菩提果位之前,都不会生起哪怕一瞬间希求声闻和独觉解脱的念头,安住于菩萨戒律之中,更何况是贪恋天人和人间的权势呢?因此,也应赞叹无上的戒律功德。具有珍爱他人胜过自己的心念的人们,为了他人的利益,甘愿在轮回的尽头安住于地狱之中,更何况是忍受对自己身心微小的损害呢?因此,也应赞叹忍辱的功德。如果能够进入和出定于声闻和独觉们连名字都不知道的,一切戏论寂灭的无数禅定之中,更何况是证得世间的无色禅定呢?因此,也应赞叹菩萨们的禅定。对于深奥的空性具有坚定信仰的人们,即使对于涅槃这个名称的显现也不会执着为相异,更何况是了悟具有动摇本性的有为法在自性上是空性的呢?因此,也应赞叹智慧的伟大。有些孩童

Noble beings, bearing the burden of liberating limitless beings from the boundless ocean of suffering, even in countless eons, are not weary at all by the torment of suffering in body and mind, and even in the three thousand great thousand worlds filled with blazing fire, they strive to seek teachings and guidance from virtuous friends. Therefore, diligence should also be praised. Bodhisattvas, without regard for their own body and life, even serve the Dharma and those who speak the Dharma with flesh and blood and bones, what need is there to mention giving away wealth? Therefore, the merits of respect, offerings, and generosity towards virtuous friends who teach the Great Vehicle Dharma should also be praised. The great heroes who have vowed to attain unsurpassed enlightenment, since generating the mind of enlightenment, until they attain the essence of enlightenment, will not generate even for a moment the thought of desiring the liberation of hearers and solitary realizers, abiding in the vows of the Bodhisattva, what need is there to mention being attached to the power of gods and humans? Therefore, the merits of unsurpassed discipline should also be praised. Those who have the thought of cherishing others more than themselves, for the sake of others, are willing to dwell in hell until the end of samsara, what need is there to mention enduring small harms to their own body and mind? Therefore, the merit of patience should also be praised. If one is able to enter and arise from countless samadhis in which all elaborations are pacified, which even hearers and solitary realizers do not know the name of, what need is there to mention attaining the formless samadhis of the world? Therefore, the samadhi of the Bodhisattvas should also be praised. Those who have firm faith in profound emptiness, even for the mere appearance of the name of nirvana, do not hold it to be different, what need is there to mention realizing that phenomena with a wavering nature are empty in their own essence? Therefore, the greatness of wisdom should also be praised. Some children

仅仅为了自身暂时的显赫而努力,以诸多痛苦折磨身体也是苦行。如果人们对这些都感到惊奇,那么对于那些想要将无边众生从痛苦的巨大海洋中解脱出来,并带到不居涅槃之洲的人,他们不执着于自身的快乐、身体和生命,投身于此的伟大菩萨们,谁会不恭敬呢?因此,也应该赞颂菩萨的功德。如此,对于以诸多苦行成就的珍贵佛法,以及难以遇到的情况,也要理解,并舍弃听闻诸佛菩萨珍贵佛法的厌倦,再三地以极大的恭敬心亲近,也要努力于听闻、思维和修行。以何种辛劳依止善知识之理,如理如实地被诸佛清楚地开示,此中的意旨毫不错误地,以多种庄严具备的优美词句来阐述。纯净的增上意乐从巍峨的山峰中产生,音声和意义的庄严之花绚丽绽放,以丰富的显隐比喻等多种方式,这如意宝树般的传记诗歌。追随能仁具千眼者之后,为了使具缘者进入那令人向往的解脱胜境,而创作此作,并非为了成为竞争者焚烧的木柴。语自在顶饰吉祥勇者,过去仅仅赞颂诸佛的事迹,暂时放下这位殊胜佛子的传记时,那些在诗歌海洋中反复游历却缺乏智者导师的人们,看到这深广无垠的伟大行持之水,极其恐惧而长期舍弃,我的智慧无法忍受,所以被称为勇者的导师再次投入其中。对于佛子诸佛的奇妙传记,那些精通藏汉诗歌规则的人们,如果说他们的智慧能毫无阻碍地进入,那是虚假的。如果真实,为何没有这部传记呢?广阔的知识领域处处清晰,开启贤者善说莲花的百花园,佛陀的教法

Just striving for one's own temporary eminence, afflicting the body with various sufferings is also asceticism. If people are amazed by these, then who would not respect the great Bodhisattvas who want to liberate limitless beings from the great ocean of suffering and take them to the island of non-abiding Nirvana, without attachment to their own happiness, body, and life, and who engage in this? Therefore, the virtues of the Bodhisattvas should also be praised. Thus, one should also understand the precious Dharma attained through many hardships and the difficulty of encountering it, and abandon weariness in listening to the precious Dharma of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, repeatedly approaching it with great reverence, and also strive in listening, thinking, and meditating. How to rely on a spiritual friend with what kind of effort, as it has been clearly shown by the Buddhas in accordance with reality, the meaning of this, without any error, is explained with various ornate and beautiful words. Pure higher intention arises from the majestic mountain, the flowers of the ornaments of sound and meaning bloom brilliantly, with rich metaphors and various kinds of expressions, this Jataka poem like a wish-fulfilling tree. Following the one with a thousand eyes, the Thubwang, it is composed to fulfill the hopes of the fortunate desire deities who enter the beautiful realm of liberation, not to become firewood for burning competitors. The crown jewel of speech, the glorious hero, in the past only praised the deeds of the Buddhas, when temporarily setting aside the biography of this supreme son of the Buddhas, those who have repeatedly traveled in the ocean of poetry but lack wise guides, seeing this vast and profound ocean of great deeds, are extremely frightened and abandon it for a long time, my wisdom cannot bear it, so the guide called the hero returns to this path again. For the wonderful biographies of the Buddhas and the sons of the Buddhas, those who are proficient in the rules of Tibetan and Chinese poetry, it is false to say that their wisdom can enter without hindrance. If it is true, why is there no biography of this? The vast fields of knowledge are clear everywhere, opening a hundred gardens of lotuses of the wise's good sayings, the Buddha's teachings.
