　　或暂阅精简，《一切经集要》。亦当偶披阅，龙树二论典。

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

　　经论所未遮，皆当勤修学。为护世人心，知已即当行。

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

　　再三宜深观，身心诸情状；仅此简言之，即护正知义。

　　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

　　法应躬谨行，徒说岂获益？唯阅疗病方，疾患云何愈？

　　【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.

　　一瞋能摧毁，千劫所积聚、施供善逝等，一切诸福善。

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

　　罪恶莫过瞋，难行莫胜忍；故应以众理，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.

　　若心执灼瞋，意即不寂静，喜乐亦难生，烦躁不成眠。

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

　　纵人以利敬，恩施来依者，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.

　　瞋令亲友厌，虽施亦不依。

　　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.

　　瞋敌能招致，如上诸苦患。精勤灭瞋者，享乐今后世。

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

　　强行我不欲，或挠吾所欲，得此不乐食，瞋盛毁自他。

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

　　故应尽断除，瞋敌诸粮食；此敌唯害我，更无他馀事。

　　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，莫挠欢喜心；忧恼不济事，反失诸善行。

　　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

　　若事尚可为，云何不欢喜？若已不济事，忧恼有何益？

　　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.

　　不欲吾与友，历苦遭轻蔑，闻受粗鄙语；于敌则反是。

　　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!

　　乐因何其微，苦因极繁多；无苦无出离，故心应坚忍。

　　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，无端忍烧割；吾今求解脱，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.

　　久习不成易，此事定非有；渐习小害故，大难亦能忍。

　　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、饥渴等苦受，乃至疥疮等，岂非见惯耶？

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

　　故于寒暑风、病缚捶打等，不宜太娇弱；若娇反增苦。

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

　　有人见己血，反增其坚勇；有人见他血，惊慌复闷绝。

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

　　此二大差别，悉由勇怯致；故应轻害苦，莫为诸苦毁。

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