其学识与德行,皆为人所赞扬。
One who has much learning and is also strong in virtue
will be praised for both his virtue and his learning.

舍贪欲者, 获心解脱。
Abandoning greed, the mind is released.

保持无贪无瞋之心 ,
内心得以平静安定。
Abide without coveting and without an angry mind.
Internally settled, bring the mind to one point.

获取财富远不如获取智慧,我们应该修习以获取智慧。
Increase in wealth is nothing comparing to increase in wisdom. 
Therefore we should train to increase in wisdom.

智慧乃人们的珠宝石。
功德难为强盗所偷夺。
Wisdom is a gem for humans. 
Merit is difficult for robbers to carry away.

善行之福德不会消失,信心亦带来莫大益处。
The good luck of virtue never fades; faith also brings great goodness.

以精进努力和清楚了知,去除 自己的身心的痛苦。

如同岩石不受狂风动摇,智者亦不受毁誉动摇。
Just as a mighty boulder stirs not with the wind,
so the wise are never moved by either praise or blame.

19
治水者疏导水,矢師矫正箭,木匠修饰木,智者制伏自己。
Irrigators regulate water. Arrow-makers fashion shafts.
Carpenters shape wood. Wise ones tame themselves.

智者舍离贪欲, 心静如水,不为风所荡漾。
The wise one rid of all desires is calm as a pond unstirred by wind.
