67.1.1 All the world call me great,
(but it) seems (that I am) not resembling (the great).
67.1.2 Oh! Exactly because (one is) great,
so (it) seems (that he does) not resemble (the great).
67.1.3 If resembling, then already (he) is petty.
67.2.1 I have three treasures,
(which I) hold and treasure it.
The first is said to be love and compassion.
The second is said to be self-restraint.
The third is said to be not daring to be ahead of the world.
67.2.2 (With) love and compassion, so (one) can be courageous.
(With) self-restraint, so (one) can be broad.
Not daring to be ahead of the world,
so (one) can accomplish things and grow.
67.2.3 Now put aside love and compassion (and) just (take) courage.
Put aside self-restraint (and) just (take) broadness.
Put aside (being) behind (and) just be ahead.
Dead indeed!
67.3.1 Oh! Fight with love and compassion then (gain) victory.
Defense with (love and compassion) then be secured.
67.3.2 Heaven will rescue him,
67.3.3 stand guard for him with love and compassion.
