Discipline is a supreme ornament

and, whether worn by the old, young or

middle-age, it gives birth only to

happiness. It is perfume ‘par excellence’

and, unlike ordinary perfumes which

travel only with the wind, its refreshing

aroma travels spontaneously in all

directions. A peerless ointment, it

brings relief from the hot pains

of delusion.

戒律如同一個至高無上的勳章,

無論佩帶的是老人, 年輕人或中年人,

它只會生出喜樂.

它是“出類拔萃” 的香水,

不像一般只會隨風飄送的香水,

它清新的香味隨時隨地向四處散發.

也是無以倫比的膏藥,

在迷惑的猛烈痛苦中帶來解脫.
