427 Arhat Anantakarunā (Endless Compassion)
Humility and caution cultivate a peaceful nature. Reading widely makes one a learned scholar. Studying diligently in isolation inevitably leads to narrow-mindedness; one must also seek guidance from wise elders and learn from those with unique insights.
For those who receive this verse, one has a talent for reading and enjoys it. But one should know that life is limited, and knowledge is boundless. Learning is for practical use; useless learning is like a dragon-slaying skill, no matter how much, what good is it? Therefore, those who study diligently until old age are merely old scholars; those who learn and practice can become renowned people in the world. Where to go, please ponder deeply.
