十二、精进
[12] Diligence
【释迦牟尼佛】：汝等比丘，若勤精进，则事无难者。是故汝等，当勤精进。
[Śākyamuni Buddha]: You [and] other Bhikṣus, if constantly diligent, [are] then [with] matters without difficulties. Therefore, you [and] others, should [be] constantly diligent.
譬如小水长流，则能穿石。
For example, like [a] small stream constantly flowing, [it is] then able [to] penetrate rock.
若行者之心，数数懈废，譬如钻火，未热而息，虽欲得火，火难可得，是名精进。
If [the] minds [of] practitioners, [are] frequently lazy [and] abandon [practice], for example, like boring [for] fire, [with it] yet [to be] hot then resting, although desiring [to] obtain fire, fire [is] difficult to [be] obtained. [These] are named [as teachings on] diligence.
