Ten Admonishments  by Tshangs dbyangs Rgya mtsho&Bai Yi You Lan
--- Translated by Xu Jingcheng   

No1: Had better not to meet, and thus you would not fall in love;   

No2: Had better not be in acquaintance, and thus you would not be drowned in lovesickness;   

No3: Had better not be in company, and thus you would not mutually owe;   

No4: Had better not cherish, and thus you would not recall;   

No5: Had better not fall in love, and thus you would not mutually abandon;   

No6: Had better not see face to face, and thus you would not meet;   

No7: Had better not hurt, we would not fail to be loyal;   

No8: Had better not promise, and thus your love would not continue;   

No9: Had better not depend, and thus you would not snuggle;   

No10: Had better not encounter, and thus you would not be in reunion.   

Albeit, ever to meet is to know! If ever is as such, better not to meet.   
Alas! How could I part with you eternally, thus not in the gyre of endless lovesickness?
