Ndai laika go hpa lam nga?
Dagri masha ni shakram sai hpe lu ai - hkra shagui nna pru wa ai. Dai zawn, madu hpe n yu yang, shan lu ai; madu hpe n sha yang, tsinu lu ai. Hpro hta nna du yang, na du nga ai.
Ngu hpe nanga hpe dai ga?
Ngai go: dai zawn re, ngai akyu hpe n yu yang, yong hpe lu ai ngu myit yang, nnan re myit sum lam ngui hkanu ai. Ndai myit go ngai hpe matsan ban hkra shakram ya nga ai.
Nit nanga hpe dai ga ai byin?
Nhtoi hta: madu akyu hpe n yu nna, gahka masha ni hte mung shada woi chyurum bot na rai ai. Grai tso chyurum na hku shakut yang, mung sutsu ngu na re.
Heaven is long-enduring and earth continues long. The reason why heaven and earth are able to endure and continue thus long is that they do not live of, or for, themselves. Therefore the sage puts his own person last, and yet it is found in the foremost place; he treats his person as if it were foreign to him, and yet that person is preserved. Is it not because he has no personal and private ends, that therefore such ends are realised?
