法句譬喻經 7.p2

7.p2

“He who is humane does not kill (or, it is humane not to kill); he is ever able to preserve (his own?) life. This principle (chu) is imperishable; whoever observes it, no calamity shall betide that man. Politeness, indifference to worldly things, hurting no one, without place for annoyance—this is the character of the Brahma Heaven (or of Brahma Deva). Ever exercising love towards the infirm; pure, according to the teaching of Buddha; knowing when sufficient has been had; knowing when to stop,—this is to escape (the recurrence of) Birth and Death.”
