折疑論 5.14

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [5.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.5.14)

汝惟不矜。天下莫與汝爭能。太上曰。自見者不明。自是者不彰。自伐者無功自矜者不長（自專所見者。必不明其道也。自言是者。其道德必不顯彰也。自誇伐者。必無其功也。目矜才能者。必不得久長也）。

> '"Only by not being proud will no one under heaven contend with you for ability." The Supreme Lord said: "He who looks only at himself is not clear-sighted. He who asserts himself is not prominent. He who boasts of himself has no merit. He who is proud of himself does not endure." (He who is attached only to his own views will certainly not be clear about the Way. He who declares himself to be right will certainly not have his Way and virtue made prominent. He who boasts of himself will certainly have no merit. He who is proud of his abilities will certainly not endure for long.)
