因爲他們說話正直無私，容色也不阿谀谄媚。

世間人有塵沙這麼多，不惟有種種形狀、相貌、壽量、族類、名號的差異，亦是各具種種心性和種種知見，因而産生種種欲樂，種種意行，種種威儀的分別。有的人得人喜愛，有的人讓人厭惡，有的人令人尊重，有的人使人鄙視；其千差萬別，其實源乎一心。人由心性産生知見，由知見産生意行，因意行影響欲樂、威儀，因欲樂、威儀又影響先天的形狀、相貌、壽量、族類、名號，再因此影響心性，衍發新的知見、意行，遂導至有後天的種種差別待遇。
Since there are as many people in the world as motes of dust, invariably people differ in shape, appearance, life span, race and name. Each inpidual possesses a particular type of mind and nature as well as a variety of views and knowledge.

People respect certain inpiduals while disdaining others. In actuality, these myriad variations all originate from a single thought. From our mind and nature, we produce views and knowledge. From views and knowledge we give rise to will and conduct. Our will and conduct influence our inclinations and comportment. Our inclinations and comportment affect our congenital shape, appearance, life span, race and name, which further affect the mind and nature, developing new views and knowledge, will and conduct, thus leading to dissimilar experiences after birth.
