312 Arhat Nityaprasanna (Always Joyful)
A tree needs character to be tall and strong; a person needs integrity to be loved by Heaven. A person with boundless righteousness is a true hero; loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, and righteousness are worth a thousand pieces of gold.
For those who receive this verse, one should value their reputation even more, be open and sincere to others, and have more backbone. Flattery, disrespecting reputation, and deceiving others may bring small gains sometimes, but will ultimately be despised. It is better to adhere to loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, and righteousness. Although one may gain nothing materially, the respect gained will be worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.
