Yung-chia says that we should endure the insults, criticisms and slanderous remarks of other people. If someone slanders you or your practice, you must refrain from getting upset and harboring anger or hatred against that person. Instead, you should feel great joy, as if you were suddenly given a delicious drink when you were dying of thirst. Kan-lu, translated here as ambrosia, is a legendary drink which bestows immortality. When people slander you, you should receive their words as you would ambrosia.

You should be thankful to people who criticize you, because their remarks are beneficial to your practice. Even if you are not what the critics claim, and even if you have done none of the things they accuse you of doing, such criticism will make you more alert. It will sharpen your vigilance; it will help to prevent you from becoming what critics perceive you to be, and from doing what critics think you have done. If you deal with criticism and insult as Yung-chia advises, then your behavior will be correct, and your practice will flourish.

Thoroughly understanding both basic principles and teaching,
Samadhi and wisdom are complete and clear without stagnating in emptiness.
Not only do I accomplish this now,
The essence of uncountable Buddhas is just the same.
