text in Tibetan. • Tibetan texts always start with ༄༅ ཡསྙིག་མགསྤྱོ་ the beginning letter, • Followed by ། ། གཉསྙིས་ཤད་ two full stops. • བྱང་ཆུབ་ means enlightenment. བྱང་ is related to the aspect of purification, while ཆུབ་ shows that all qualities of wisdom and compassion have fully expanded.
together སསྤྱོད་ཚུལ་ means how you act, how you conduct yourself. • དསྙིལ་བ་ as a verb is to distil, to sort of roll together as one. It is also the same word as used for ringing a bell. As a noun it is what has been distilled- distillation. • སསྙིང་པསྤྱོ་ is essence or heart. By adding the grammar particle ར་ it becomes 'to the essence' or 'into the essence'.
རྒྱལ་བ་ means victor i.e. Buddha. སྲས་ means son or heir. རྒྱལ་སྲས་ then are the heirs of Buddhas- Bodhisattvas. • ལག་ལལེན་ is practice. ལག་ is hand. ལལེན་ is to take or accept. Literally this is something like 'taking in hand'; very practical.
མ་ makes it a noun- the thirty-seven. • ཞལེས་བྱ་བ་བཞུགས་ is something put at the end of every Tibetan title. Sort of like the Old English “Herein lies...” But it's never really translated. • སསྤྱོ་ is a final particle or རསྤྱོགས་ཚཚིག There are eleven of these: གསྤྱོ་ངསྤྱོ་དསྤྱོ་ནསྤྱོ་བསྤྱོ་མསྤྱོ་འསྤྱོ་རསྤྱོ་ལསྤྱོ་སསྤྱོ་ཏསྤྱོ། They simply repeat the suffix of the preceding word.
The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva: A Distillation of the Essential Conduct for Awakening to Enlightenment • After studying the vocabulary, try to figure out for yourself how someone might have arrived at this translation. Then I will explain what I understand. Please remember to dedicate whatever study you do. Thanks!
