ཇི་ལྟར་ས་ལས་སྐྱེ་བ་ཀུན། །
རྟོག་མེད་ས་ལ་བརྟེན་ནས་ནི། །
འཕེལ་དང་བརྟེན་དང་ཡངས་འགྱུར་ལྟར། །
རྟོག་མེད་ས་ལ་བརྟེན་ནས་ནི། །
འཕེལ་དང་བརྟེན་དང་ཡངས་འགྱུར་ལྟར། །
Just as all that grows on the earth
Comes to grow, thrive, and expand
Through relying on the ground
That is without thoughts,
Comes to grow, thrive, and expand
Through relying on the ground
That is without thoughts,
De même que tout ce qui naît de la terre
Prend appui sur la terre, qui n’a pas de pensées, Pour croître, se renforcer et s’épanouir,
