Spells and bewitchment are heretical teachings. Do not mention something that is not true. It is not your place to talk about others' family matters. Needless to defend yourself when in a wrong position. Never say anything that may cause harm to people. Never spread unwholesome and detrimental news. It is better not to discuss mere hearsay. There is nothing to say about relationships. Never bring up anything that is not true. Hold back sharing your moments of embarrassment. Be sure to clarify your misunderstandings. Neighborhood rumors are just gossip. Think thrice before you speak out of anger. Mistakes are always being mentioned. Apologies should be said in person. Never speak again of past disputes. There is no need to mention what may dampen moods. Give your advice only according to circumstances. It does not hurt to mention past experiences.
- 为大事也 何惜生命 为信仰也 何吝舍俗 为学法也 何惧委屈 为承诺也 何必反悔(為大事也 何惜生命 為信仰也 何吝捨俗 為學法也 何懼委屈 為承諾也 何必反悔) Tis for the Greater Cause, why should even my life be spared? Tis for the Faith, why hesitate on relinquishing the mundane life? Tis for the Dharma, why fear being wronged? Tis for the promise, why regret anything?
