1 So to speak, “Not Remembering the Benefit That You Give Others; Not Forgetting the Benefit That You Receive”. It is the basic principle that a person should hold. Nature gives all creatures lives and conditions that support their lives. It never asks creatures to return something. As for propagation and breeding offspring, it offers some extra benefit to make them accomplish it willingly.
所謂「施恩慎毋念，受恩慎毋忘」，這是做人的基本原則。大自然給了眾生生命以及所有支持這個生命的一切條件，大自然是從來沒有要求眾生做什麼回報的; 就算有，如繁衍後代，養育後代等工作; 祂也是用一些額外的利誘，讓你在心甘情願的情況下去完成。
2 It is not the rule of natural alms giving that he benefits others but always expect the possible reward. Even the profit-seeking businessman, doesn’t think so.
給了人一點恩惠就念念不忘，老是想別人回報，這不是大自然布施的法則。就是將本求利的商人，也不認為那是應該的。
3 Businessman does a deal. After paying money and handing over goods, he doesn’t go to the bottom to know how much benefit the buyer gets and how much added value he creates. After buyer pays the bill, their relation ceases. Seller should not ask something more from buyer.
商人做生意，銀貨兩訖後，就不再追蹤別人買了這樣東西，得了多少方便，創造了多少付加價值等。買方付了錢，雙方的關係就結束了，賣方不能再要求什麼。
4 The common philanthropists benefit others, sometime they would mention it unconsciously, but they never ask for return. However, the real sage of perfect practice, they not only ask nothing for return but also never mention it.
一般慈善家給人方便後，有時還是會有意無意地提一提; 但是他們是不會要求回報的。不過，真正修行完備的聖人，他們非旦不會要求回報，他們是連提都不會提的。
施於人而不忘，非天布也，商賈不齒，雖以事齒之，神者弗齒。
