Verse 2. Sutra 4 - Makara Brahman

 By understanding an upright person thinks he is pure,

Possessing wisdom acts, in a way that abandons suffering,

He skilfully removes harmful views and so takes the path to purity,

In cutting off all such views he realises the highest purity.


見好人以為淨,
Jiàn hǎorén yǐwéi jìng,
有慧行及離苦,
yǒu huì xíng jí lí kǔ,
黠除凶見淨徑,  
xiá chú xiōng jiàn jìng jìng,
斷所見證至淨.
duàn suǒ jiànzhèng zhì jìng.
