Verse 4. Sutra Three - Sundari

By calm abiding one does not cling to the world,

Whilst others boost constantly of their holding strictly to vows,

It is the shrewd who trust in the path of right conduct,

Unattached to a showy-display the people are instructed.

以止不拘是世，　　
Yǐ zhǐ bùjū shì shì,
常自說著戒堅，
cháng zì shuōzhe jiè jiān,
是道法黠所信，　　
shì dào fǎ xiá suǒxìn,
不著綺行教世.
bùzháo qǐ xíng jiào shì.
