為名者氣恨終生，
為利者六親不識；
為情者自尋煩惱，
苦相鬥造業一生。
不求名悠悠自得，
不重利仁義之士；
不動情清心寡慾，
善修身積德一世。

一九 八六年七月十三日

One who is for fame resents till death,
One who is for gain disavows family;
One who is for sentiment brings vexation on himself,
Bitterly fighting each other, making karma over a lifetime.
Not seeking fame, enjoying leisure, feeling content,
Not stressing gain, a benevolent righteous person;
Not moved by sentiment, clear-hearted with few desires,
With benevolence, cultivating oneself, accruing virtue over a lifetime.
