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། ། །

དོན་རྣམས་འབྱོར་སླད་བརྩོན་འགྲུས་དཔེ་མེད་མཛོད། ། །

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
