Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm,
even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

There are those who do not realize
that one day we all must die.
But those who do realize this
settle their quarrels.

A person with good eyes,
encountering a treacherous, uneven place, would try hard to avoid it.
A wise person, in the world of life,
should avoid evil deeds.

Easy to do are things
that are bad and harmful to oneself.
But exceedingly difficult to do
are things that are good and beneficial.

One who is a master of knowledge,
Who has lived the holy life,
Is called one gone to the world’s end,
One who has reached the further shore.
