བྱང་བསྟན་ཕུག་པར་རྟ་ལྗང་ཅན་གྱི་ཟེར། །
Sun rays do not enter a northern facing cave;
མི་འཇུག་དངོས་པོའི་གཤིས་ལ་བཅོས་མེད་ཀྱང་། །
The nature of such things cannot be changed.
ཕྱོགས་གཞན་བུག་པར་ཤར་བའི་སྣང་བ་ཡིས། །
However, light shining through the other opening
འཐིབས་པོའི་སྨག་རུམ་སེལ་བ་འབྱུང་སྙམ་བགྱིད། །
Dispels the thick darkness
One can contemplate this
The 5th Dalai Lama – Ngawang Lobzang Gyatso (1617–1682)
