緇門警訓 2.38

2.38

You have already left home; people's natures are dim or bright. / Learning matters not whether it is much or little; the essential thing is to cultivate diligence. / The superior person practices seated meditation; the middling person recites the scriptures; / The lower person is capable of managing the stupas and monasteries. / How can one pass the entire day without accomplishing a single thing? / To establish oneself without any renown may be called living in vain. / Now, therefore, I instruct you: you should rectify your own mind.
