Section 6
The Buddha said,”When an evil person hears about your goodness intentionally comes to cause trouble,you should restrain yourself and not become angry or blame him.Then the one who has come to do evil will do evil to himself,”
佛言。惡人聞善。故來擾亂者。汝自禁息。當無嗔責。彼來惡者。而自惡之。
Section 14
A Shramana asked the Budha,”What is goodness?Why is the foremost greatness?”The Budha said,”To pratice the Way and uphold the truth is goodness.To unite your will with the Way is greatness,”
沙門問佛。何者為善。何者為大。佛言。行到守真者善。志與道合者大。
Section 22
the Buddha said,”People are unable to renounce wealth and sex.They are just like a child who cannot resist honey on the blade of a knife.Even though it cannot make him full,he will lick it and risk cutting his tongue in the process.”
佛言。財色於人。人之不捨。譬如刀刃有密。不足一餐之美。小兒舔之。則有割舌之患。
Section 32
The Buddha said,”People worry because of love and desire.That worry then leads to fear.If you transcend love,what worries will there be?What will be left to fear?”
佛言。人從愛欲生憂。何憂生怖。
Section 35
The Buddha said,”PeoPle smelt metal by burning the dross out of it in order to make high quality implements.It is the same with people who study the Way:first they must get rid of the defilements in their minds;then their practice becomes pure.”
佛言。如人煅鐵。去滓成器。器即精好。學道之人。去心垢染。行即清靜矣。
