Ashamed of what’s not shameful,
not ashamed of what is,
beings adopting wrong views
go to a bad destination.Seeing danger where there is none,
& no danger where there is,
beings adopting wrong views
go to a bad destination.Imagining error where there is none,
and no error where there is,
beings adopting wrong views
go to a bad destination.But knowing error as error,
and non-error as non-,
beings adopting right views
go to a good
destination.
