like a Lha. Tlie vow must be held like one’s own body. Hearing, 
thinking must be developed so as to equal the border of the heavens. 
Thoughts must be meditated upon like the oceans. £ Oh king ! trust a 
loving friend ! Cohabitation gives no satisfaction ; hence do not allow 
carnal passion to gush forth like a torrent. 
‘ Of spiteful enemies there will be no end; therefore do not allow 
hatred to burn like a fire. 
‘ Though this be the period of dullness and error, do not allow 
ignorance to advance like darkness. 
‘ There should be no talk of one’s own attainments ; hence do not 
allow pride to be born like a mountain. 
‘ Other people’s want being loss to one’s self, do not allow envy to 
whirl like a cyclone. 
‘ The doing of works never will cease; take up, then, the burden of 
suffering. 
‘ Of worldly goods enough, is a thing unknown; cut asunder, 
therefore, the knot of avarice. 
‘ There exists no measure to indicate the time of one’s death ; hence 
exert yourself to be pious. 
‘ There is no telling, when death will draw nigh ; therefore don’t 
put off (striving after) virtue until the morrow. 
‘ A small sin even is visited with a heavy penalty ; therefore do not 
commit sin at all. 
‘ All men at the first were equal; pay attention therefore to other 
people’s dying and not dying. 
‘ When another (person) dies, do not mourn at his corpse; thyself 
also must die. 
‘ Nothing else is of use ; seize hold of the Chhos, for it is of use in 
the end.’ 
The king believed and said : ‘ Father and mother, though searched 
never found ! Fire and water, needful morn and even alike ! Wife 
though absent, yet to be found ! 
Needful in the end is the holy Chhos !’ 
Ug-tad (again) said : ‘ If you of your own accord have come to 
believe in the Chhos, then body and intellect 1 both are annihilated by 
the mind. 2 These and the vanities 3 that are destroyed in the end, are 
the Di-gung-pas to Ab-chi £. (monast. at: Sgang-ngon, Yn-ru, Sliang.), the Dug-pas 
to Gon-po. m. (monast. at He-mis, Tchem-re, Stag-na.), the Rgyud-pas to Tsono--Kh- 
pa. m. (monast. at Ri-rdzong). All these patrons are said to have been great teachers 
and saints, either male or female.
