This is to be done by one skilled in aims
who wants to break through to the state of peace:
Be capable, upright, & straightforward,
easy to instruct, gentle, & not conceited,
content & easy to support,

with peaceful faculties, masterful,
modest, & no greed for supporters.

are not led into other doctrines;
perfectly enlightened with perfect knowledge,
they walk evenly over the uneven.
