馬爾巴上師口訣曲-載自密勒日巴道歌
Guru Marpa's oral instructions to Milarepa
from Milarepa's Song of Realization
最勝依靠為佛陀
The greatest refuge is the Buddha
最佳伴侶為信心
The best companion is faith
最惡妖魔為妄念
The worst demon is discursive thoughts
最厲惡鬼為我慢
The most menacing devil is pride
最大罪業為毀謗
The most serious crime is slander
行道大障為嫉妒
The biggest obstacle to the dharma path is jealousy
少作無義之言行
Do not engage in meaningless talk and act
不依四力行懺悔，流轉六道無了期
If you do not confess according to the four forces
You will wander endlessly in samsara
若不積聚福資糧，解脫妙樂不可得。
If you do not accumulate merits
The bliss of liberation cannot be gained
若不斷除十惡業，必受餓趣之極苦。
If you do not cut through the ten defilements
For sure you will suffer the pains of the lower realms
不修空性及大悲，究竟佛果不能得。
If you do net practice emptiness and compassion
Ultimate realization cannot be attained
若欲即身成佛位，無散專一觀自心。
If you wish to attain buddhahood in this life time
You must without distraction observe your mind
密續了義之精華，六法攝盡應勤修。
To understand the essence of Tantra
You must diligently practice the six yogas of Naropa
究竟口訣之精華，應修密乘方便道。
To realize the ultimate meaning of oral instructions
You must practice the skillful means of the Vajrayana
若求利養與承事，終將成為魔眷屬。
If you pursue the comforts of material goods and servants
You will surely become the devil’s followers
若行自讚與毀他，必墮恐怖之險處。
If you brag about yourself and slander others
You will surely fall into the fathoms of horrifying danger
不能調伏狂亂心，語句口訣有何用？
If you cannot tame this wild mind of yours
What use are teachings and oral instructions ？
因地發心極緊要，空見無生最殊勝。
The purity of the motivation is most important
It is truly remarkable to realize unborn emptiness
密法修觀深邃故，應修氣脈明點道。
The practice of tantric insight is most profound
So you should practice prana yoga
俱生智慧應爭取
Primordial wisdom must be forcefully sought
殊勝上師勤依止
Great gurus must be persistently relied on
自心無生應徹觀，人壽易盡莫蹉跎。
The unborn mind must be thoroughly investigated
Life easily fades ，do not idle away your time
勿求輪迴短暫樂，苦痛亦有利益面！
Do not pursue the brief pleasures of samsara
Sufferings also have their beneficial side！
明心即是成佛道，廣聞多為有何益？
Clarity of the mind is the attainment of buddhahood
What good can worldly knowledge have？
百千法師縱聚議，難說較此更勝法，
Thousands of dharma teachers have gathered for discussion
Nothing can exceed this method
汝應依此善修持。
Therefore you should practice in earnest accordingly
