106-108*¹⁰⁸:

You could, month by month,
    at a cost of thousands,
conduct sacrifices
    a hundred times,
        or
pay a single moment's homage
    to one person,
    self-cultivated.
Better than a hundred years of sacrifices
would that act of homage be.

You could, for a hundred years,
live in a forest
    tending a fire,
        or
pay a single moment's homage
    to one person,
    self-cultivated.
Better than a hundred years of sacrifices
would that act of homage be.

Everything offered
or sacrificed in the world
for an entire year by one seeking merit
doesn't come to a fourth.
    Better to pay respect
    to those who've gone
    the straight way.
