  50. (Complete Purity)The first principle of learning Buddhism is to never focus on others’ wrongs. By doing so, you only taint yourself and hinder your practice.
  51. (Great Dignity)If others speak ill of us, there’s no need to feel angry or sad. If they speak well of us, there’s no need to be overly joyful. Both good and bad exist in everything; it depends on how you utilize them.

  55. (Non-Attachment to Places)Everyone possesses life, but not everyone understands or values it. For those who do not comprehend life, it becomes a punishment.
  56. (Understanding Relationships)Love is not a charity; it cannot be casually given. Relationships have no formulas, principles, or rules. Yet people cling to and pursue them until death.
  57. (Understanding Behavior)People are not inherently bad; they merely have habits. Everyone has habits, varying only in depth. As long as someone has a sincere heart towards the path, forgive them; do not see them as bad.
  58. (Acceptance of Different Opinions)You should tolerate those with differing opinions; this makes life easier. If you constantly try to change them, you will suffer. Learn to endure and accept them instead.
  59. (Detachment from Illusions)What we cannot obtain often appears beautiful because we understand too little. When we finally delve deep and spend time with it, we may find it is not as wonderful as we imagined.
