Than the two sides of a single hand.
Abandon dualistic discrimination;
Pure lands are nowhere else! That is my heart advice.
9) The tracks left by all Buddhas, past, present, and future,
Quintessence of the 84,000 Teachings,
Are the instructions on altruistic Bodhicitta
Don’t forget them, practice them! That is my heart advice.
10) When among many, watch your speech,
When staying alone, watch your mind, it is taught
In all actions, again and again,
Check your body, speech, and mind. That is my heart advice.
11) Prepare with Bodhicitta, be undistracted in the main practice,
And dedicate at the end. Full attention to these three points
Is cherished by those on the path to Liberation, it is taught.
Don’t forget this; keep it in mind! That is my heart advice.
