You stand at the threshold of departure, yet you have no provisions for the journey.

With stain blown off, without blemish, you will reach the divine noble plane.

There is no resting place for you in between, and you have no provisions for the journey.

With stain blown off, without blemish, you will not again undergo birth and ageing.

Like a smith with silver, should blow away one's own stain.

So one's own actions lead to an unfortunate realm one who indulges too much.

Idleness is the stain of beauty, negligence is the stain of one who guards.

Evil mental states are indeed stains, in this world and the next.

Having abandoned this stain, be stainless, monks.

A braggart, reckless, defiled in living.

Not sluggish, not impudent, living purely, seeing clearly.

Takes what is not given in the world, and goes to another's wife.

Right here in this world, he uproots himself.

Let not greed and what is not the Teaching afflict you for a long time unto suffering.

Whoever therein becomes ashamed regarding others' drink and food;

He, neither by day nor by night, attains concentration.

He indeed, by day or by night, attains concentration.

There is no net like delusion, there is no river like craving.

For he winnows the faults of others just as chaff;

But one's own he conceals, like a cheat, the fraudulent gambler.

His mental corruptions grow, he is far from the elimination of mental corruptions.

People are fond of obsession, the Truth-finders are without obsession.

Activities are not eternal, there is no perturbation for the Buddhas.
