He who acts for his name
     a life of anger and hate is his
He who acts for profit
     cold is he, knowing not his kin
He who acts for emotion
     many are the troubles he brings himself
Bitter,
     fighting away,
          he makes karma all his life.

Not seeking a name
     life is carefree and content
Not set on profit
     one is known as humane and righteous
Not stirred by emotion
     the mind is quiet, desires few
Kind,
     cultivating himself,
          he builds up virtue all his years.
