1, from Su Shi's "He Ouyang Shao Shi Shi Zhi Qi", the original text "Everyone knows his ignorance, benevolence is enough to love himself, Tao is enough to forget things, and ambition is enough to rise and fall. Then who can see a few blessings first and get rid of the dirt? I am often afraid of the world and I don't see him. "
2. Translation:
If you are not wise and omniscient enough, if you are not benevolent enough to respect yourself (cherish your reputation), if you are not noble enough to be unaffected by external things, and if you are not ambitious enough to affect the rise and fall of your destiny (once or for a generation), how can you meet good karma without being contaminated by earthly dirt? I'm afraid there is no such person in the world.
