If you are patient, your enemies will be defeated. If you are arrogant, you will be despised
If you rest your mind, you will be happy. There is no victory or defeat in the mind.
| 忍胜则怨贼， 自负则自鄙，息意则快乐， 无胜无负心。
|
If you disturb others, seeking peace and happiness for
yourself, you will only create enemies and never attain liberation.
| 若人扰乱彼， 自求安乐世，遂成其怨憎， 终不得解脱。

If you enjoy sensual pleasures and use weapons to harm living beings
seeking peace for yourself, you will not find happiness in future lives.

Neither lawful nor unlawful conduct has the same retribution. Unlawful conduct
leads to hell, while the true Dharma leads to rebirth in heaven.
| 不以法非法， 二事俱同报，非法入地狱， 正法生于天。
|
Giving and fighting are the same in this respect: the wise do not
praise this merit. When giving, one is also fighting. These two things are equal.
| 施与战同处， 此德智不誉，施时亦战时， 此事二俱等。
|
When a person encounters hundreds of thousands of changes, they are all equal in eliminating the enemy
of arrogance. At that time, giving with a pure mind is the most excellent among the strong.

Forbearance is superior to the many, and precepts are superior to the many lazy

The reward of giving with joy is that all one's wishes are fully
accomplished. One quickly attains the first extinction and gradually enters the state of non-action.

If they seek skillful means, the wise and holy give wisdom. Having exhausted
the original source of suffering, one should know that they will receive great rewards.
| 若彼求方便， 贤圣智慧施，尽其苦原本， 当知获大报。
|
Loving the Dharma, peaceful and secure, the mind and intention are pure and
clean. The Dharma spoken by the wise and holy is enjoyed by the wise.
| 爱法善安隐， 心意洁清净，贤圣所说法， 智者所娱乐。
|
If one's mind delights in meditation, it also delights in non-arising. It also
delights in the four foundations of mindfulness, as well as the seven factors
of awakening, and the four bases of supernatural power, and the eightfold noble path.

Not associating with fools for countless days, living with fools
is difficult, like being with enemies and those one dislikes

|
It is very difficult to encounter a wise person, who is never born in vain
If one is born in a place where they are, that family will surely be blessed.
| 人智甚难遇， 终不虚托生，设当托生处， 彼家必蒙庆。
|
Everyone attains peace and tranquility, the brahmin attains nirvana
not being tainted by desire, completely liberated from all places.
| 一切得安隐， 梵志取灭度，不为欲所染， 尽脱于诸处。
|
Completely severing inauspicious bonds, subduing inner afflictions, forever ceasing
to sleep, the mind and consciousness become clear and penetrating.
| 尽断不祥结， 降伏内烦恼，永息得睡眠， 心识得清彻。
|
Be careful not to be attached to pleasure, one should follow the practice
of protection, one should contemplate letting go of the world, and observe joyful things.
| 慎莫著于乐， 当就护来行，当念舍于世， 观于快乐事。
|
The pleasures of the world and the pleasures of the heavens
this is called the utmost of love, not even one-sixteenth is attained.
| 如世欲欢乐， 及彼天上乐，此名为爱极， 十六未获一。
|
If one wishes to discard the heavy burden, and not create heavy karma again, the heavy
burden is the suffering of the world, being able to discard it is the fastest happiness.
| 欲舍于重担， 更不造重业，重担世之苦， 能舍最快乐。
|
Completely cutting off all desires and lust, and extinguishing all activities, and
extinguishing the root of the five aggregates, no longer accepting the three realms.
| 尽断诸爱欲， 及灭一切行，并灭五蕴本， 更不受三有。
|
The accumulation of meaning brings happiness, friends and food bring happiness, that
extinction is peaceful happiness, spreading to others, suffering takes happiness as its basis.
| 义聚则有乐， 朋友食福乐，彼灭寂然乐， 展转普及人，苦以乐为本。
|
Like a blazing fire pit, blazing and burning, gradually going out, not knowing where it goes.
| 犹彼焰火炉，赫焰而炽然，渐渐而还灭，不知所凑处。
|
Those who see like this are free from the mire of desire, and even when they leave, there is no place to go, attaining the happiness of the immovable.
| 如是等见人，免于爱欲泥，去亦无处所，以获无动乐。
|
In the middle, there is no anger, there is change and impermanence, removing sorrow and no worries, peacefully observing the existence of the world.
| 中间无有恚，有变易不停，除忧无有愁，寂然观世有。
|
There is happiness and no affliction, hearing much of the true Dharma, even if one sees harm, people are greedy for form.
| 有乐无有恼，正法而多闻，设见有所损，人人贪于色。
|
Without afflictions, the world is well-lived, the great Dharma knows the source of afflictions, people should understand the flaws of afflictions, people's minds are bound and attached, also bound to the basis of form.

All suffering from humiliation, all happiness from one's own doing
victory and defeat naturally arise, yet there is nothing gained.
| 一切受辱苦， 一切任己乐，胜负自然兴， 竟不有所获。

patient one is patient with others, the impatient one dwells in all existences.

encountering the traces of happiness, without traces, how can there be contact?
| 众生见苦乐， 圣法无损坏，虽值触乐迹， 无迹焉有触。
|
Like a bhikṣu in concentration, not attached to any defilements, sentient
beings undergo suffering and happiness, but are unable to perceive it.
