Benefit Self and Others
Translated into Chinese by Kalayasas (383 - 442, Liu-Song Dynasty)
English translation: John Balcom
Coarse language harms oneself and others─it is harmful to
all. Cultivating and using good language benefits oneself
and others─it is mutually beneficial.
── from Foshuo Wuliangshou Jing (Contemplation of the Buddha of Infinite Life Sutra)
