12.5

Always be kind and take care
Of those who are to be guided.
Sincerely maintain
Unalloyed, pure, pristine, stainless conduct.
Those who keep their conduct stainless
Are praised by the buddhas.¹²⁰⁶ {6}

“ ‘Those who have honored
The buddhas in the past
Are protectors who lead all beings
To enlightenment.
Those who keep the stainless conduct
That has been praised by the past buddhas
Become those who save many beings
From the hells and from bad karma. {7}

“ ‘Give the precious gift of the supreme Dharma
And always maintain patience.
Remain in solitude, be skilled in samādhi,
Meditate, and be gentle.
Never engage in quarrels
And maintain supreme, peaceful conduct.
I am going to the capital,
To the city, in order to protect beings.’ {8}

“When that sage, the supreme, sublime being
Who had great realization, was leaving,
Some held him by his feet,
Weeping with compassion and shedding tears.
‘Wise one with great realization, do not leave!
Look at how beautiful are this charming forest’s trees,
With their sweet and fragrant aromas.¹²⁰⁷
Protect yourself, and do not leave. {9}

“ ‘The guides of the past, who had the ten strengths,
Who had pacified senses, and kindness,
Went to forests, cliffs, and mountain summits
And there reached the highest enlightenment.
They practiced the highest conduct, enlightenment’s cause.
They possessed supreme merit and wisdom.
Follow their example and remain in the forest.
You, who have perfect discipline, do not leave. {10}

“ ‘Your beautiful body is adorned by the signs.
Your hair is blue-black in color,
You shine with the color of gold
And you illuminate this earth.
An ūrṇā hair is between your eyebrows,
