Wish fulfilling Tree with Inexhaustible Harvest (in Tibetan & English)

In this episode of the podcast, Geshe Sonam Ngodup explains a verse from the Bodhisattvacharyavatara (Way of the Bodhisattva)  ( Tib. བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའི་སྤྱོད་པ་ལ་འཇུག་པ་, changchub sempé chöpa la jukpa) . Geshe la teaches in Tibetan and his teachings are translated by Venerable Khedrup.

Like a Wish fulfilling tree its good fruits are not exhausted.

 སྤྱོད་འཇུག་ལས། དགེ་བ་གཞན་ཀུན་ཆུ་ཤིང་བཞིན་དུ་ནི། 

All other virtues are like a plantain tree, 

འབྲས་བུ་ཕྱུང་ནས་ཟད་པར་འགྱུར་བ་ཉིད། 

After bearing fruit they simply perish, 

བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་ཀྱི་ལྗོན་ཤིང་རྟག་པར་ཡང། 

But the perennial tree of bodhicitta, 

འབྲས་བུ་འབྱིན་པས་མི་ཟད་འཕེལ་བར་འགྱུར། 

Unceasingly bears fruit and flourishes without end.
