The conduct toward teachers, Just so toward a pupil; Nineteen topics, Fourteen on proper conduct in this chapter. If you do not fulfill the proper conduct, Then you do not fulfill your virtue; Impure in virtue, weak in wisdom, You do not know the unity of mind. A mind distracted, not unified, Does not see the teaching rightly; Not seeing the true teaching, You are not released from suffering. But if you do fulfill the proper conduct, Then you also fulfill your virtue; Pure in virtue, possessed of wisdom, You also know the unity of mind. A non-distracted mind, unified, Sees the teaching rightly; Seeing the true teaching, You are released from suffering. So, fulfill the proper conduct, You the Son of the Victor, possessed of insight; The instruction of the Buddha, the best—Go from that to extinguishment, in this way.” The chapter on proper conduct is finished.
