比丘六病治：不可太圓如皮球，不可太方如方石；不可狂笑如作戲，不可寡言如木人；不可依人如孺子，不可目空如狂人。
Title: Six tips for Bhikkhu (a Buddhist monk) to confine conduct
Don’t be too soft or flexible so that you become unprincipled, like ball being thrown around randomly.
Don’t be too inflexible or rigid like a square stone which is difficult to suit different positions or situations.
Not to laugh wildly like acting in a play; Not to be too sparing of words like a puppet.
Not to be too dependent on others like a child; Not to look down on others like an arrogant person.
