Kyema! Now when the bardo of this life is dawning upon me,
I will abandon laziness for which life has no time,
Enter, undistracted, the path of study, reflection and meditation,
Making perceptions and mind the path, and realize the three kayas;
Now that for once I have attained a human body,
This is not the time to remain in the ways of distraction.

Padmasambhava
