《益西措嘉佛母传记》 中英文对照(94)【对密宗有信心者入】
"Inside, there were many dakinis, female in appearance and of different colors. They were holding various offerings that they were presenting to the principal dakini. Some of them were slicing off pieces of their own flesh with knives, laying it out and offering it as a ganachakra feast. For the same purpose, some were bleeding themselves, some were giving their eyes,some their noses, some their tongues, some their ears, some their hearts, some their inner organs, some their muscles, some their intestines, some their bone marrow, some their spinalfluid, some their life force, some their breath, some their heads,and some their limbs, cutting them off and arranging them asa ganachakra feast. They offered everything to the principal dakini in union with her consort, dedicating it as a devoted ganachakra.
"To what purpose,' I asked, 'are you inflicting all this pain upon yourselves? Is it not enough simply to dedicate your life completely to the Dharma?'"In answer, they cried:
Ema!
Slothful woman!
Only for a fleeting instant
Does compassion of a true and holy teacher
Come within our reach!
Shall we gather in her presence
And not offer what delights her?
Put things off till later,
And we'll never fill our stock of merit.
Procrastinate, and obstacles increase!

措嘉的疑问
"To what purpose,' I asked, 'are you inflicting all this pain upon yourselves? Is it not enough simply to dedicate your life completely to the Dharma?'"In answer, they cried:
「『妳们是为了什么, 』我问道, 『要这样加诸痛苦在自己身上?难道将生命完全奉献给佛法竟还不够?』
「她们呵斥回道:
空行 的呵斥
Ema!
Slothful woman!
Only for a fleeting instant
Does compassion of a true and holy teacher
Come within our reach!
唉玛
懒散急惰一女子
仅于飞逝一瞬间,
眞实导师之慈悲
来至吾等能及处!
Shall we gather in her presence
And not offer what delights her?
Put things off till later,
And we'll never fill our stock of merit.
Procrastinate, and obstacles increase!
吾等聚集彼尊前,
怎能不供悦意物?
延缓磨蹭至日后,
永难装满功德库。
拖延总招障难增!
