"With 	what virtue,
		what behavior,
nurturing 	what actions,
would a person become rightly based
and attain the ultimate goal?"
"One should be respectful
	of one's superiors
[1] 
	& not envious;
should have a sense of the time
	for seeing teachers
[2];
should value the opportunity
	when a talk on Dhamma's in progress;
should listen intently
	to well-spoken words;
should go at the proper time,
	humbly, casting off stubbornness,
	to one's teacher's presence;
should both recollect & follow
	the Dhamma, its meaning,
	restraint, & the holy life.
Delighting in 	Dhamma,
savoring 		Dhamma,
established in 	Dhamma,
with a sense of how
to investigate 	Dhamma,
one should not speak in ways
destructive 		of Dhamma,
[3] 
should guide oneself
with true, well-spoken words.
	Shedding
laughter, 		chattering,
lamentation, 	hatred,
deception, 		deviousness,
greed, 		pride,
confrontation, 	roughness,
astringency, 		infatuation,
one should go about free
of 		intoxication,
	steadfast within.
Understanding's the heartwood
	of well-spoken words;
concentration, the heartwood
	of learning & understanding.
When a person is hasty & heedless
his discernment & learning
	don't grow.
While those who delight
in the doctrines taught by the noble ones,
	are unexcelled
in word, action, & mind.
They, established in
		calm,
		composure, &
		concentration,
have reached
what discernment & learning
have as their heartwood."
