Though your form may be humble and crude, make your conduct admirable. Though your clothes may be coarse, make your deportment dignified. Though your food and drink may be meager, make your speech inspiring. Endure the heat in summer and endure the cold in winter. Be able to maintain integrity, not drinking from the Spring of Thieves. Do not let your feet casually step toward offerings from the unprincipled. When remaining long in a private room, act as if facing the Supreme Sovereign. Though your learning may not be vast, you can match the highest sages. Renouncing household life like this is sufficient to repay both parents, and all kinsfolk and acquaintances will receive its grace. Now I admonish you: each of you should urge yourself on.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2083.2.95) - [Next: 2.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2083.2.97) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2083.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2083~en-mt.2.96) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [緇門警訓](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.2.36) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2083.2.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2083.2.96) · Pramāṇa
