愚罵而智默　則為住勝彼
彼愚無知見　謂我懷恐悑
我觀第一義　忍默為最上
惡中之惡者　於瞋復生瞋
能於瞋不瞋　為戰中最上
夫人有二緣　為己亦為他
眾人有諍訟　不報者為勝
夫人有二緣　為己亦為他
見無諍訟者　不謂為愚騃
若人有大力　能忍無力者
此力為第一　於忍中最上
愚自謂有力　此力非為力
如法忍力者　此力不可沮

"When the fool reviles and the wise stays silent, one stands victorious over him. / That fool, lacking knowledge and vision, thinks I harbor fear. / I perceive the ultimate truth: patient silence is supreme. / The worst of evil is to generate anger in return for anger. / Being able not to become angry toward anger is the supreme victory in battle. / A person has two reasons: for oneself and also for others; / when the multitude disputes, he who does not retaliate is the victor. / A person has two reasons: for oneself and also for others; / seeing one without contention, do not consider him foolish and dull. / If someone has great strength and can bear with the powerless, / this strength is foremost, supreme among forms of patience. / The fool considers himself powerful, but this power is no power; / the power of patience in accord with the Dharma—this power cannot be overcome."
