"Practicing evil brings retribution in hell;
Doing good brings celestial bliss.
If one can cultivate concentration on emptiness,
With outflows exhausted, one realizes the state of an arhat.
Joyfully receiving gifts from others,
With the three robes, one is always content.
With concentration and wisdom cultivating the three karmas,
One abides in peace and joy within mountain valleys.
Better to eat hot iron pellets,
Scorching hot like blazing flames,
Than for one who breaks precepts to receive
The food of faithful dānapatis."
