Eight Verses for Developing the Good Heart, written by the Kadampa Geshe named Diamond Lion, from the Plains of Langri (1) May I think of every living being As more precious than a wish-giving gem For reaching the ultimate goal, And so always hold them dear. (2) When I'm with another, wherever we are, May I see myself as the lowest. May I hold the other as highest, From the bottom of my heart. (3) As I go through the day may I watch my mind, To see if a negative thought has come; If it does may I stop it right there, with force, Since it hurts myself and others. (4) At times I will meet bad people, Tormented by strong bad deeds and pain. They are hard to find, like a mine of gold; And so may I hold them dear. (5) Some jealous person might do me wrong, Insult me, or something of the like; May I learn to take the loss myself, And offer them all the gain. (6) There may be times when I turn to someone With every hope they'll help me, And instead they do me great wrong; May I see them as my holy guide. (7) In brief may I give all help and joy To my mothers, directly or some other way; May I take all the hurt and pain of my mothers In secret upon myself. (8) May none of this ever be made impure By the eight ideas of things; May I see all things are illusion, and free Myself from the chains of attachment.
