Self-grasping and wrong desire are like crops
destroyed by frost.
If the Dharma, which is meant to tame the mind,
becomes a source of arrogance,
the root of virtue is cut.
This is my heart's advice.
Prematurely attempting to benefit beings is like a leader
with no sight.
It is a cause of not helping others
and of suffering for oneself.
Make effort in loving-kindness, aspiration,
and dedication.
This is my heart's advice.
The Jewel Treasury of Advice.
