Part 13 of 13 · Sixty Stanzas on Reasoning, Kathmandu

The closing stanzas, the five paths, the dedication, and a call to translate the texts.

The final session. Rinpoche says the text will finish before the tea break, with a short refuge and bodhicitta ritual and some requested transmissions to follow. He reads the closing stanzas: whoever holds things as truly existent is caught by the snake of emotion, the wise meet forms, sounds and tastes without being trapped, nothing real is there to desire or to be free of desire, and fixation gone, one crosses the ocean of existence. He outlines the five paths and how antidotes are finally let go, reads the dedication to the two accumulations and two kayas, explains how an enlightened being still benefits others, and names the text’s translators. He urges the translation of Buddhist texts, then closes with thanks and a dedication.
