妙法蓮華經 信解品第四（43）

The Lotus Sutra Chapter IV Willing Acceptance

I have already increased your wages

And given you more balm for your feet,

Given you sufficient food

And warm, thick mats.

『既益汝價，并塗足油，飲食充足，薦席厚煖』

并增加了他的工錢，滿足他的飲食，爲他的卧床鋪上優質蘆席和厚實而暖和的被褥。就這樣，

He further advised him, saying sternly:

You should work diligently.

Then he gently added:

I will treat you like my son.

如是苦言：『汝當勤作。』又以軟語：『若如我子。』

長者苦言相勸，要他一定要振作起來，勤奮工作。另外，長者還以柔和的語調安慰他，說以後将把他視同自己的兒子一樣。
