Complete acceptance.
Have a long life, with no illnesss or enemies,
And having overcome all obstacles on the path,
Swiftly attain the Dharmakaya, free of birth and death.
If this illusory body, which I cling to as mine, is sick: let it be sick!
This sickness enables me to exhaust
the bad karma I have accumulated in the past,
And the spiritual deeds I can then perform
Help me purify the two kinds of veils.
If I am in good health, I am happy,
Because when my body and mind are well
I can enhance my spiritual practice,
And give real meaning to human existence
By turning my body, speech and mind to virtue.
If I am poor, I am happy,
Because I've no wealth to protect,
And I know that all feuds and animosity
Sprout from the seeds of greed and attachment.
If I am rich, I am happy,
Because with my wealth I can do more positive actions,
and both temporal and ultimate happiness
are the result of meritorious deeds.
If I die soon, that's excellent,
Because , assisted by some good potential,
I am confident that
I shall enter the unmistaken path
Before any obstacle can intervene.
If I live long, I am happy,
Because without parting from the warm beneficial
rain of spiritual instructions
I can over a long time, fully ripen
The crop of inner experiences.
Therefore whatever happens, I shall be happy.

May whoever harms my body and life
Have a long life, with no illnesss or enemies,
And having overcome all obstacles on the path,
Swiftly attain the Dharmakaya, free of birth and death.

And the spiritual deeds I can then perform
