A short poem I composed and loosely translated

བདེ་བ་མི་བདེ་བ་སིམས་ཚང་ཡིན།

བདག་ཅག་ཚང་མ་སྡུག་བསྔལ་ལ་བསྡད།

འདི་ཡིན་པ་ཡིན་ནའང་བདག་ཅག་གི།

རྣམ་རྟོག་བསྐྱེད་པའི་རྒྱུ་མཚན་ཅི་ཡིན།


All suffering and happiness are nothing but mind,

yet all of us stay trapped in suffering.

Although this is certainly the case,

for what reason do these concepts which bind us arise?

  1. Wow - I'm really glad you posted this, and this is great! Whenever we meet up (it looks like late June) I would like to here more about what the most common forms are for Tibetan verse. Makes me want to get better at Tibetan!
