23. Whatever I know I've left it as theory; it's no use to me now.
Whatever I've done I've spent on this life; it's no use to me now.
Whatever I've thought was all just delusion; it's no use to me now.
Now the time has come to do what's truly useful –
recite the six-syllable mantra.
24. The only never-failing, constant refuge is the Three Jewels;
The Three Jewels' single essence is Chenrezi.
With total, unshakable trust in his wisdom,
convinced and decisive, recite the six-syllable mantra.
25. The basis of the Mahayana path is the thought of enlightenment;
This sublime thought is the one path trodden by all the Buddhas.
Never leaving this noble path of the thought of enlightenment,
With compassion for all beings, recite the six-syllable mantra.
May all seek, find & follow the Path of Buddhas.

31. The mind cannot cope with all the many visualization practices;
To meditate on one Sugata is to meditate on them all.
Whatever appears, appearances are the form of the Great Compassionate One;
In the realm of the deity's body, apparent yet void, recite the six-syllable mantra.
32. Recitations, sadhanas, and powerful spells are just complications;
The all-inclusive six-syllable mantra is the very sound of the Dharma.
All sounds have never been other than the speech of Sublime Chenrezi;
Recognizing them as mantra, resounding yet void, recite the six-syllable mantra.
May all seek, find & follow the Path of Buddhas.

64. One deity, Chenrezi, embodies all Buddhas;
One mantra, the six syllables, embodies all mantras;
One Dharma, bodhichitta, embodies all practices of the development and completion stages.
Knowing the one which liberates all, recite the six-syllable mantra.
May all seek, find & follow the Path of Buddhas.

In addition to Padmakara's translation of Dilgo Khyentse's commentary, there was an earlier, now out of print version. It was translated by Matthieu Ricard and published by Tibet House; being titled Essence of Buddhism. It also included seminal texts by the other three Tibetan schools.

75. The six-syllable mantra, although perfect as Dharma,
Is fruitless recited while chatting and looking around;
And to cling to the number recited is to miss the point outright.
Undistractedly watching the mind, recite the six-syllable mantra.
