Quotations: Longchen Rabjam, Tale of the Rabbit, As you lie about in sleep...
ཉལ་ཞིང་གཉིད་པས་དོན་རྣམས་འཆོར་བ་དང་། །
བག་ཟོན་མེད་པས་དགྲ་རྣམས་འཇུག་པ་ དང་། །
འདྲེ་རྣམས་གླགས་ཚོལ་ཉེས་པ་ཚད་མེད་པས། ། །
As you lie about in sleep your plans all come to naught;
And, inattentive as you are, your enemies assemble,
While demons too seize the chance to strike—
Thus, without limit are the perils and pitfalls of slumber.
And to succeed, therefore, cultivate a diligence beyond compare.[1]
- Drimé Özer (Longchenpa), Tale of the Rabbit
