Never depending on any ordinary being,
Not being saddened on encountering suffering:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {91}

“ ‘When seeing the poor, bringing them wealth;
When seeing those with bad conduct, feeling compassion;
Always teaching those things that are beneficial:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {92}

“ ‘Benefiting beings through the Dharma,
Always giving away worldly material things,
Never accumulating, never amassing:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {93}

“ ‘Praising correct conduct and condemning bad conduct,
Being free of dishonesty and relying on those with correct conduct,
Giving away one’s possessions and not relying on wealth:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {94}

“ ‘Providing for the guru with a higher motivation,
Doing all that he has told one to do,
Never ceasing from serving the dharmabhāṇaka:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {95}

“ ‘Always being respectful and delighted,
Remaining continually in a peaceful view,
Always being sure of one’s past conduct:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {96}

“ ‘Always following those with correct conduct,
With skillful methods shunning⁶⁸⁴ concepts,
Repelling identification and the characteristics of things:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {97}

Having certainty in the words that teach the truth,
The manifestation of the wisdom of liberation:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {98}

“ ‘Speaking words that are never contradictory,
Skillful in the certainty of what is taught,⁶⁸⁵
And using words that will not be doubted:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching.⁶⁸⁶ {i}

“ ‘Always relying on the Dharma of emptiness,
Maintaining fearlessly the power of correct conduct,
And applying equality through remaining in samādhi:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {99}

“ ‘Not wishing to attain intellectual knowledge,
Keeping the mind free from hypocrisy,
And rejecting the creation of any view:
That is the nature of the Jina’s teaching. {100}
