Joyously participate in the sorrows of others.

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.

The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.

As solid rock remains unmoved by the wind, so the wise remain unmoved by blame and praise.

Do not speak - unless it improves on silence.

Whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings...that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.

One way leads to acquisition, the other leads to nirvana. Realising this a monk should take no pleasure in the respect of others, but should devote himself to solitude.
