Since all the happiness and suffering of this life arise from previous actions, do not blame others. All happiness comes from the blessings of your Spiritual Guide, therefore always repay his kindness. Since you cannot tame the minds of others until you have tamed your own, begin by taming your own mind. Since you will definitely have to depart without the wealth you have accumulated, do not accumulate negativity for the sake of wealth. Distracting enjoyments have no essence, therefore sincerely practice giving. Always keep pure moral discipline for it leads to beauty in this life and happiness hereafter. Since hatred is rife in these impure times, don the armour of patience, free from anger. You remain in samsara through the power of laziness, therefore ignite the fire of the effort of application. Since this human life is wasted by indulging in distractions, now is the time to practice concentration. Being under the influence of wrong views you do not realize the ultimate nature of things, therefore investigate correct meanings. Friends, there is no happiness in this swamp of samsara, so move to the firm ground of liberation. Meditate according to the advice of your Spiritual Guide and dry up the river of samsaric suffering. You should consider this well because it is not just words from the mouth, but sincere advice from the heart. If you practice like this you will delight me, and you will bring happiness to yourself and others.
