Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

世有大苦惱 人自悉具見
煩惱不降伏 乃得如是苦 
ñam ṅa che thaṅ byuṅ gyurd kyaṅ | | myi yis myig ni bsruṅ ba ltar | | 
ñam ṅa che thaṅ byuṅ gyur kyaṅ | | mi yis mig ni bsruṅ ba ltar | |

Il ne peutse faire, quoi qu’il arrive, que [le bodhisattva] cède aux passions : de même que l’æil ne goûtera jamais les saveurs. 
Even in great stress the eye is unconscious of the sense of taste; and so, into whatever straits he may come, he will not fall into the power of the Passions. 
 
我寧使頭落 及刳剔心腸
煩惱諸冤家 一切我不降

de bźin gnas skabs thams cad du | | rigs pa las ni gźan mi spyad | | 
 
 
It would be better for me to be burned, to have my head cut off and to be killed,
rather then ever bowing down to those ever-present disturbing conceptions.
(So likewise in all situations I should do nothing other than what is fit.) 
yad evāpadyate karma tat karma vyasanī bhavet |

因修此精進 得彼慢業盡

rtsed mo’i bde ’bras ’dod pa ltar | | ’di yis bya ba’i las gaṅ yin | |

A l’æuvre [pie, lecture, méditation, etc.], don’t l’heure est venue, il s’applique de toutes ses forces: il s’enivre, jamais assouvi, de la saveur qu’elle contient: tel [un joueur] tout entier au plaisir et au gain. 
He will utterly give himself over to whatever task arrives, greedy for the work, insatiate of spirit, like one who lusts for the delight issuing from his sport. 
sukhārthaṃ kriyate karma tathāpi syān na vā sukham |
karmaiva tu sukhaṃ yasya niṣkarmā sa sukhī katham ||63|| 
爲快樂修因 彼卻不獲得
所修不決定 亦得不殊勝

Toute action, stérile d’ailleurs ou féconde, a pour principe l’espoir d’un bien. Mais pour celui dont le bonheur est dans l’action même, il n’est pas de bonheur fors l’action. 
Every work is done for the sake of happiness, whether the happiness come or no; but how can he whose happiness is work itself be happy in doing no work? 
kāmair na tṛptiḥ saṃsāre kṣuradhārāmadhūpamaiḥ |

輪迴欲不足 喻貪刀刃蜜
福甘露若貪 食之後轉美

spu gri’isor chags sbraṅ rtsi lta’i | | ’dod pa rnams kyis mi ṅoms na | |
rnam smin bde la źi ba yi | | bsod nams kyis lta ci ste ṅoms | | 
 
Les plaisirs,—miel sur le tranchant du rasoir,—ne rassasient pas les vivants ; et qui serait rassasié de l’ambroisie des bonnes æuvres qui mûrissent ici-bas en fruits savoureux et produisent le bonheur final ? 
Desires, like honey on the edge of a razor’s blade, bring no contentment in life; but what satiety can there be from the divine draughts of righteous deeds, that are blessed and sweet in their issue? 
tasmāt karmāvasāne ’pi nimajjet tatra karmaṇi |
yathā madhyāhnasaṃtapta ādau prāptasarāḥ karī ||65|| 
是故業寂靜 感妙果隨行
如日溫月寒 晝夜而相逐

de ltas las tshar phyin bya’i phyir | | ñi ma phyed dus gduṅs pa yi | |
glaṅ chen mtsho phrad mtshor ’jug ltar | | las de la yaṅ ’jug par bya | | 
 
Donc, quand un travail est fini, que [le bodhisattva] se plonge aussitôt dans un autre ; comme l’éléphant sous les feux du midi se plonge tout d’abord dans le lac. 
Then when one work is brought to an end, he will plunge into another, as the elephant, vexed by the heat of midday, plunges straightway into the lake that he finds. 
balanāśānubandhe tu punaḥ kartuṃ parityajet |
susamāptaṃ ca tan muñced uttarottaratṛṣṇayā ||66|| 
精進之有力 能破於懈怠
獲得遠離故 深心而愛樂 
rjes su myi bder ’gyur ba’i las | | rig ’gyur de ma thag du gtaṅ | |

[Mais cette ivresse d’action n’est pas sans règle]. Quand on constate que les forces manquent [pour achever l’æuvre commencée], on s’arrête en vue d’achever plus tard. Et, quand l’æuvre entreprise ets parfaite, on cesse de s’en occuper, tout entier à la tâche qui doit suivre [et à son fruit]. 
But when his strength fails, he will withdraw from his work; and if it be happily ended, he will leave it, in eagerness for more and more tasks.

ñon moṅs mtshon las gzur bya źiṅ | | ñon moṅs dgra rnams gźom par bteg | | 
 
[Le saint] n’a qu’une pensée : se garder des coups des passions ; leur porter des coups décisifs ; tel le héros, qui combat à l’épée, [plus habile encore], un habile adversaire : 
He will guard himself against the blows of the Passions, as though fighting with the sword against a skilful foe.

執劍手無力 失之而怖急
念劍失亦然 地獄而在心

g-yul du ral gri lhuṅ gyur na | | ’jigs pas myur du len pa ltar | |
de bźin dran pa’i mtshon śor na | | dmyal ba’i ’jigs dran myur du blaṅ | | 
 
Si l’épée vient à tomber, il la reprend, aussi prompt que la crainte. Quand la mémoire, cette épée, lui échappe, [le saint] la reprend [et la tient en garde], se souvenant des enfers. 
As one in fear swiftly takes up again a fallen sword, so he will take up the fallen sword of remembrance, bethinking himself of hell.

世間知善人 不肯飮毒血

ji ltar khrag la brten bcas nas | | dug ni lus la khyab ’gyur ba | |
de bźin glags ni rñed pa na | | ñes pas sems la khyab par ’gyur | | 
 
[Toute blessure est grave, car si le poison pénètre dans le sang, il se répand dans tout le corps ; de même le mal dans la pensée, s’il trouve une fissure [par où s’introduire]. 
As poison that has reached the blood spreads through the body, so the sin that finds a weak spot spreads through the spirit.

出家精進心 喻執持油缽

Commes, [dans la légende,] l’homme qui porte un vase rempli d’huile ; des soldats l’entourent, le fer au poing ; [le sol est glissant] ; le moindre faux pas est fatal ; [car une seule goutte repandue lui coûtera la vie]. Aussi attentif le bodhisattva [qui redoute l’enfer]. 
A man carrying a bowl full of oil, surrounded by soldiers with drawn swords, in fear of death if he should trip, will walk heedfully; and so it is with him that is under the vow.

著睡眠懈怠 喻毒蛇在懷
不去當被傷 去之宜須急

de bas paṅ du sprul ’oṅs na | | ji ltar riṅs par ldaṅ ba ltar | |
de bźin gñid daṅ sñom ’oṅs na | | myur du de dag bzlog par bya | | 
 
Comme si un serpent se glissait sur la poitrine, aussi prompt [, aussi effrayé], le bodhisattva réagit violemment contre le sommeil et la langueur qui s’insinuent. 
Then when slumber and faintness fall upon him, he will strive against them as speedily as one springs up when a serpent is creeping into his lap. 
ekaikasmiṃś chale suṣṭhu paritapya vicintayet |

一一之深過 要迴心思惟
此過不可守 云何我復作 
ñes pa byuṅ ba re re źiṅ | | bdag la smad nas ci nas kyaṅ | |

ñes pa byuṅ ba re re źiṅ | | bdag la smad nas ci nas kyaṅ | |
bdag la phyis ’di mi ’byuṅ ṅa | | de ltar bya źes yun riṅ bsam | | 
 
S’il lui arrive de faiblir, [c’est comme un vaillant:] il s’afflige et réfléchit : « Comment faire que cela ne m’arrive plus ? » 
Whenever he is caught unawares, he will be sorely grieved, and consider what he should do that it may not befall him again. 
saṃsargaṃ karma vā prāptam4 icched etena hetunā |

和合之業因 斷以正念劍
云何名自位 此念而獲得

Aussi cherche-t-il le commerce [des amis spirituels], l’æuvre [qu’ils commandent et les châtiments qu’ils infligent], pour apprendre à s’exercer [attentivement] dans la mémoire de la Loi, [et à croître ainsi la force]. 
For the sake of this he will desire godly company or tasks to come in his way, that his remembrance may be exercised in these conditions. 
laghuṃ kuryāt tathātmānam apramādakathāṃ smaran |
karmāgamād yathā pūrvaṃ sajjaḥ sarvatra vartate ||74||

Jamais il n’oublie le « Sermon sur l’attention », il rend sa pensée et son corps rapides et maniables, en sorte qu’il soit prêt toujours et en toute chose, avant même qu’il faille commencer. 
Remembering the Sermon on heedfulness, he will hold himself in readiness, so that even before a task comes to him he is prepared to turn to every course. 
yathaiva tūlakaṃ vāyor gamanāgamane vaśam |
tathotsāhavaśaṃ yāyād ṛddhiś caivaṃ samṛdhyati ||75|| 
如彼睹羅綿 隨風而來往
精進人亦然 增上如是得

ji ltar rluṅ ni ’gro ba daṅ | | ’oṅ bas śiṅ bal dbaṅ bsgyur ba | |
de bźin spro bas dbaṅ bsgyur te | | de ltar na ni ’grub par ’gyur | | 
 
Comme la graine du cotonnier obéit au vent, allant et venant sous son impulsion ; de même, [corps et pensée], [le bodhisattva] se dirige à sa volonté. C’est ainsi qu’on obtient les pouvoirs magiques [et toute félicité]. 
As the seed of the cotton-tree is swayed at the coming and going of the wind, so will he be obedient to his resolution; and thus divine power is gained.
