All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity.
Seeing the similarity to oneself, one should not use violence or have it used.
All fear violence, all are afraid of death.
Having abandoned the taking of life, refraining from killing, we dwell without violence, with the knife laid down, scrupulous, full of mercy, trembling with compassion for all sentient beings.
