If you're not free now, when will you ever get to be free?

Your chance to eat comes only one time in a hundred.

With its freedoms and advantages, human life is like a treasure island;
Padampa Sangye
do not come back an empty-handed failure.
Padampa Sangye
Your flesh and bones took form together,
Padampa Sangye
but in the end are sure to separate;
Padampa Sangye
do not believe that you will live forever.

The morning's ravishing flower will wither by nightfall;
Padampa Sangye
don't put your hopes in your body.
Padampa Sangye
Birth, sickness, ageing and death flow on,
Padampa Sangye
a river without ford or bridge;
Padampa Sangye
have you prepared yourselves a boat?
Padampa Sangye
For sure, the vulture of your mind will one day fly away;
Padampa Sangye
now is the time to soar up to the heights.
Padampa Sangye
Enjoy that most sublime of riches,
Padampa Sangye
the treasure of the nature of mind;
Padampa Sangye
which cannot ever be depleted.

Child,
Padampa Sangye
if you drink the milk of the sky,
Padampa Sangye
you will be totally satisfied.
Padampa Sangye
Imbibe that most sublime of drinks,
Padampa Sangye
the ambrosia of mindfulness,
Padampa Sangye
whose flow is never interrupted.
Padampa Sangye
Rely upon that most sublime companion,
Padampa Sangye
primordial awareness wisdom,
Padampa Sangye
from which you never can be parted.
Padampa Sangye
In a state of emptiness,
Padampa Sangye
whirl the spear of pure awareness;
Padampa Sangye
the view is free of being caught by anything at all.
