Living at home with stinginess and defilement, yet constantly practicing generosity, opening hands to give happily, delighting in initiating sacrificial blessings and giving alms completely. At the time of giving, always delighting in equality. Such a king is said to possess pure giving. What kind of king possesses pure wisdom? It means that some kings truly understand what is good and what is not good; what is sinful and what is not sinful; what should be cultivated and what should not be cultivated; what is superior and what is inferior; what is black karma and what is white karma. They also truly understand the various conditioned phenomena that arise from causes and conditions. Even if, due to forgetfulness, evil greed, hatred, anger, resentment, concealment, vexation, stinginess, jealousy, illusion, deceit, flattery, crookedness, shamelessness, lack of remorse, evil desires, and evil views arise, their minds awaken and do not cling to these evil thoughts. Such a king is said to possess pure wisdom. Such a king is diligently practicing the Dharma. Because the king practices these Dharmas, he can go to good realms. These five qualities can evoke the king's lovableness and can lead all kings to obtain all the benefits of this life and the next. The first four qualities can evoke the king's benefits in this life, and the last quality can evoke the king's benefits in the next life. Furthermore, Great King, you should know that I have briefly spoken of the king's faults, the king's merits, the ways of the king's decline, the ways of the king's expedient actions, the king's lovableness, and the qualities that can evoke the king's lovableness. Therefore, Great King, you should study the king's merits and avoid the king's faults; the king's merits should be cultivated; the ways of the king's decline should be avoided; the ways of the king's expedient actions should be studied; the king's lovableness should be desired and admired; the qualities that can evoke the king's lovableness should be practiced. Great King, if you can study in this way, you will obtain all benefits and happiness. Furthermore, based on the difference in actions, three types of people are established, namely, the inferior, the middling, and the superior. One who has no self-benefiting actions and no other-benefiting actions is called an inferior person. One who has self-benefiting actions but no other-benefiting actions, or who has other-benefiting actions but no self-benefiting actions, is called a middling person. One who has self-benefiting actions and other-benefiting actions is called a superior person. Furthermore, there are four types of Pudgalas (Pudgala, person). Some do evil deeds but do not like evil; some like evil but do not do evil deeds; some do evil deeds and also like evil; some do not do evil deeds and do not like evil. If one believes that various evil deeds can bring about undesirable consequences in the future, due to loss of mindfulness, or due to negligence, or due to associating with bad friends, one creates evil karma. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
