CALEA UNUI BODHISATTVA-SHANTIDEVA

" First, with mind imagination,
Shed the covering of skin
And with the blade of wisdom, strip
The flesh from off the bony frame
La inceput, cu imaginatia mintii
dezbraca-te de acoperamintul pielii
si cu taisul intelepciunii scoate
carnea de pe scheletul osos

And when you have divided all the bones;
And searched right down amid the very marrow
You should look and ask the question:
Where is "thingness" to be found? "
si cind ti-ai impartit toate oasele
si ai cautat in interiorul maduvei
trebuie sa te uiti si sa intrebi:
unde se afla acel lucru ce esti tu?
