舉足動步無益於人，戒之莫行。

Teaching Disciples

on the Three Precepts

Gaofeng Yuanmiao

(1238 - 1295, Song Dynasty)

English translation:

Venerable Miao Hsi and Cherry Lai

If our speech is of no benefit to others,

then we should not speak.

If our thought does not benefit others,

then we should not think.

If the steps we take have no benefit to others,

then we should not proceed.

── from Gaofeng Yuanmiao Chanshi Yulu
