ON THE ESSENCE OF TRUE ELOQUENCE

''First I sought out often extensive learning,

 Then all teachings dawned as transformative precepts;

 Finally I practiced all day and night,

 Completely dedicated to spread the Teachings!''

(from ''A STUDY AND TRANSLATION OF JEY TSONG KHAPA'S

 ESSENCE OF TRUE ELOQUENCE'' by Robert A. F. Thurman,
