བསམ་པ་བཟང་ན་ས་དང་ལམ་ཡང་བཟང༌། །

བསམ་པ་ངན་ན་ས་དང་ལམ་ཡང་ངན། །
ཐམས་ཅད་བསམ་པ་དག་ལ་རག་ལས་པས། །

རྟག་པར་བསམ་པ་བཟང་ལ་འབད་པར་བྱ། །

If the intentions are good, then so will be the levels and paths.
If the intentions are bad, then the levels and paths will be too.
Since everything depends on one’s intentions,
Always strive to make sure that they are positive.[1]
