善心相續
北涼 曇無讖 譯 ( 385~433 )

見學勝己，不生妒心；自勝他人，不生憍慢。
見他受樂，心生歡喜；善心相續，間無斷絕。
自受樂時，不輕他人；見他受苦，不生歡喜。

Sustaining Wholesome Aspirations
Translated into Chinese by Dharmaksema (385 - 433, Northern Liang Dynasty)
English translation: Fo Guang Shan International Translation Center

Upon seeing that someone's knowledge is greater than yours,
do not give way to jealousy. Where knowledge is greater than
that of others, do not give way to conceit.

Upon seeing others' happiness, one should feel joyful.
When wholesome aspirations continue, do not sever it.

In times of happiness, do not treat others lightly.
Seeing others suffer, one should not be happy.

── from Upasakasila Sutra (Sutra on Upasaka Precepts)
