'Sentient beings just misjudged 
With the mind being deceived and misleading, 
' Considering the constant change is 
eternal. The suffering is happiness, the self is 
not the self, the beauty is high in the unclean, [81] - 
People like adventure on the way to realize crazy island 
Is the product of crazy mind, 
Slavery disease for  Māra , not escape from bondage, 
Being born and samsara. 
But when the Buddhas, radiant aura 
Appears in life, passing the Dharma, 
to calm the suffering. Listening to the Buddhas preaching, 
intelligent beings, mind recovering and seeing 
impermanence are impermanent, suffering
It is true that suffering, seeing what is not the right self is not a self, it is unclean whether it is unclean. 
Because of such right understanding, they overcome all suffering. (A ii 52) *

There is something that is abandoned, something that is not abandoned. Crazy about awareness, crazy about the mind, crazy about the point of view [considered] the impermanence for which the existence in the position is abandoned. Awareness [see] the suffering of the mind is for joy to arise, the mind also arises, but in that he is crazy about such a view of being abandoned. Crazy about awareness, crazy about the mind, crazy about the view [view] that is not falling for falling in that position is abandoned.Awareness [see] the evil for beauty arises, the mind also arises, but in the madness of the position, such a view is abandoned.
