　　纵汝护如此，死神不留情，夺已施鹫狗，届时复何如？

　　68. You do not give clothing and such to a servant if you think he will not stay. The body will eat and pass away. Then why do you waste yourself

　　若仆不堪使，主不与衣食；养身而它去，为何善养护？

　　69. Therefore, mind, upon giving the body its wages, now serve your own needs, because not everything earned by a laborer should be given to him.

　　既酬彼薪资，当令办吾利；无益则于彼，一切不应与。

　　70. Consider the body as a ship because it is the basis of coming and going. Set the body in motion at your will in order to accomplish the welfare of sentient beings.

　　念身如舟楫，唯充去来依；为办有情利，修成如意身。

　　71. One who has become self-controlled in that way should always have a smiling face. One should give up frowning and grimacing, be the first to greet, and be a friend to the world.

　　自主己身心，恒常露笑颜，平息怒纹眉，善成众生友。

　　72. One should not inconsiderately and noisily throw around chairs and the like. One should not pound on the door, and one should always delight in silence.

　　74. One must respectfully accept the advice of those skilled in directing others and providing unsolicited aide. One should always be a pupil of everyone.

　　宜善劝勉人，恭敬且顶戴，不请饶益语，恒为众人徒。

　　75. One should express one”s appreciation for all good words. Having seen someone engaging in virtue, one should cheer him on with praises.

　　一切妙隽语，皆赞为善说！见人行福善，欢喜生赞叹。

　　76. One should speak of other”s good qualities in their absence and relate them again with satisfaction; and when one”s own virtue is discussed, one should consider it as appreciation for good qualities.

　　暗称他人功，随和他人德；闻人称己德，应忖自有无。

　　77. All endeavors are for the sake of satisfaction, which is difficult to obtain, even by means of wealth. So I will enjoy the pleasure of satisfaction in good qualities diligently accomplished by others.

　　一切行为喜，此喜价难沽；故当依他德，安享随喜乐。

　　78. There will be no loss for me in this life, and there will be great happiness in the hereafter. But due to animosities, there is the suffering of aversion and great misery in the hereafter.

　　如是今无损，来世乐亦多；反之因嫉苦，后世苦更增。

　　79. In a soft and gentle voice one should speak sincere, coherent words that have clear meaning and are agreeable, pleasant to the ear, and rooted in compassion.

　　出言当称意，义明语相关，悦意离贪瞋，柔和调适中。

　　前理既已明，应勤饶益他。慧远具悲者，佛亦开诸遮。
