　　或暫閱精簡，《一切經集要》。亦當偶披閱，龍樹二論典。

　　107. Seeing what is forbidden and what is prescribed, one should implement those teachings for the sake of protecting people”s minds.

　　經論所未遮，皆當勤修學。爲護世人心，知已即當行。

　　108. In brief, this alone is the definition of introspection: the repeated examination of the state of one”s body and mind.

　　再叁宜深觀，身心諸情狀；僅此簡言之，即護正知義。

　　109. I shall practice it with my body. What is the use of merely reading the words

　　 Will a sick person have any benefit merely by reading about medical treatments

　　法應躬謹行，徒說豈獲益？唯閱療病方，疾患雲何愈？

　　【Chapter VI: The Perfection of Patience】

　　第六品 安忍

　　1. Anger destroys all the good conduct, such as generosity and worshipping the Sugatas, which has been acquired over thousands of eons.

　　一瞋能摧毀，千劫所積聚、施供善逝等，一切諸福善。

　　2. There is no vice like hatred, and there is no austerity like patience. Therefore, one should earnestly cultivate patience in various ways.

　　罪惡莫過瞋，難行莫勝忍；故應以衆理，努力修安忍。

　　3. The mind does not find peace, nor does it enjoy pleasure and joy, nor does it find sleep or fortitude when the thorn of hatred dwells in the heart.

　　若心執灼瞋，意即不寂靜，喜樂亦難生，煩躁不成眠。

　　4. Even dependents whom one rewards with wealth and honors wish to harm the master who is repugnant due to his anger.

　　縱人以利敬，恩施來依者，施主若易瞋。反遭彼弑害。

　　5. Even friends fear him. He saddens his friends. He attracts with generosity but is not served. In brief, there is nothing that can make an angry person happy.

　　瞋令親友厭，雖施亦不依。

　　6. One who recognized hatred as the enemy, knowing that it creates sufferings such as these, and persistently overcomes it, becomes happy in this world and in the other.

　　瞋敵能招致，如上諸苦患。精勤滅瞋者，享樂今後世。

　　7. Finding its fuel in discontent originating from an undesired event and from an impediment to desired events, anger becomes inflamed and destroys me.

　　強行我不欲，或撓吾所欲，得此不樂食，瞋盛毀自他。

　　8. Therefore, I shall remove the fuel of that enemy, for that foe has no function other than to harm me.

　　故應盡斷除，瞋敵諸糧食；此敵唯害我，更無他馀事。

　　9. Even if I fall into extreme adversity, I should not disrupt my happiness. When there is frustration, nothing is agreeable, and virtue is forsaken.

　　遭遇任何事，莫撓歡喜心；憂惱不濟事，反失諸善行。

　　10. If there is a remedy, then what is the use of frustration

　　 If there is no remedy, then what is the use of frustration

　　若事尚可爲，雲何不歡喜？若已不濟事，憂惱有何益？

　　11. For loved ones and for oneself, one does not desire suffering, contempt, verbal abuse, or disgrace; but for an enemy, it is the opposite.

　　不欲吾與友，曆苦遭輕蔑，聞受粗鄙語；于敵則反是。

　　12. Happiness is obtained with great difficulty, whereas suffering occurs easily. Only through suffering is there release from the cycle of existence. Therefore, O mind, be strong!

　　樂因何其微，苦因極繁多；無苦無出離，故心應堅忍。

　　13. The devotees of Durga and the people of Karnata needlessly endure the pain of burns, cuts, and the like. Why then am I timid when my aim is liberation

　　苦行伽那巴，無端忍燒割；吾今求解脫，何故反畏怯？

　　14. There is nothing whatsoever that remains difficult as one gets used to it. Thus, through habituation with slight pain, even great pain becomes bearable.

　　久習不成易，此事定非有；漸習小害故，大難亦能忍。

　　15. Do you not consider the pain of bugs, gadflies, and mosquitoes, of thirst and hunger, and the irritation of a serious rash and the like as insignificant

　　蛇及虻蚊噬、饑渴等苦受，乃至疥瘡等，豈非見慣耶？

　　16. Cold, heat, rain, wind, traveling, illness, captivity, and beatings should not induce a sense of fragility. Otherwise, the distress becomes greater.

　　故于寒暑風、病縛捶打等，不宜太嬌弱；若嬌反增苦。

　　17. Some, seeing their own blood, show extraordinary valor, while some faint even at the sight of others blood.

　　有人見己血，反增其堅勇；有人見他血，驚慌複悶絕。

　　18. That comes from mental fortitude or from timidity. Therefore, one should become invincible to suffering, and surmount pain.

　　此二大差別，悉由勇怯致；故應輕害苦，莫爲諸苦毀。

　　19. Not even in suffering should a wise person disrupt his mental serenity, for the battle is with the mental affl…
