"When I see ill-natured people,
Overwhelmed by wrong deeds and pain,
May I cherish them as something rare,
As though I had found a treasure-trove."
"When someone out of envy does me wrong,
By insulting me and the like,
May I accept defeat
And offer victory to them."
"Even if someone whom I have helped
And in whom I have placed my hopes
Does great wrong by harming me,
May I see them as an excellent spiritual friend."
