251.There is no fire like lust, no grip like hate; there is no net like delusion, no river like craving.
火莫熱於婬,捷莫疾於怒,網莫密於痴,愛流駛於河。
252.Easily seen are other' faults, hard indeed to see are one's own; like chaff1 one winnows2 other' but one's own one hides, as a crafty3 fowler covers himself.
易見他人過,自見則為難。
揚惡如颺糠,己過則覆匿,
如彼狡博者,隱匿其格利。
253.He who sees others' faults, and is ever irritable4, the corruptions5 of such a one grow. He is far from the destruction of the corruptions.
若見他人過,心常易忿者,增長於煩惱;去斷惑遠矣。
254.In the sky there is no track. Outside there is no saint. Mankind delights in obstacles. The Tathagatas are free from obstacles.
虛空無道跡,外道無沙門。眾生喜虛妄,如來無虛妄。
255.In the sky there is no track. Outside there is no saint. There is no compound thing that is eternal. There is no instability in the Buddhas.
虛空無道跡,外道無沙門。(五)蘊無常住,諸佛無動亂。
