• Look upon those who have come to grief as if he himself had been struck, and he should
  sympathise with them deep in his heart.

• Do not give way to wishes and desires, but develop first a marked attitude of compassion.

1. •Do not ponder over his own fortune or misfortune and thus preserve life and have compassion for it.
   

• Whoever suffers from abominable things, such as ulcers or diarrhoea, will be looked upon with
  contempt by people. Yet even in such cases, an attitude of compassion, of sympathy, and of
  care should develop; by no means should there arise an attitude of rejection.

• Treat all patients alike, whether powerful or humble, rich or poor, old or young, beautiful or
  ugly, resentful relatives or kind friends, Chinese nationals or foreigners, fools or wise men.

1. •Neither dangerous mountain passes nor the time of day, neither weather conditions nor hunger, thirst nor fatigue should keep him from helping whole-heartedly.
   

• Make a dignified appearance, neither luminous nor sombre.

• It is not permissible to be talkative and make provocative speeches, to make fun of others and
  raise one’s voice, to decide right from wrong, and to discuss other people and their business.

• The wealth of others should not be the reason to prescribe precious and expensive drugs, and
  thus make access to help more difficult and underscore one’s own merits and abilities. Such
  conduct has to be regarded as contrary to the teaching of magnanimity. The object is to help.

• It is inappropriate to emphasise one’s reputation, to belittle the rest of physicians, and to
  praise one’s own virtue. Indeed, in actual life someone who has accidentally healed a disease
  then strides around with his head raised, shows conceit, and announces that no one in the
  entire world could measure up to him. In this respect, all physicians are evidently incurable!
