Don't make a big fuss even when you are kind to another person, because you are, in fact, just working at regarding others as more important than yourself Since all the time and hardship you put into being well educated, moral, and practicing the dharma benefit you, there is no point in making a fuss about it to others. Don't trade boasts with others. In the counsels of Ra-treng, it says: "Don't expect much of people; pray to your yidam."
