The Four Reliances

四依

依法不依人，
依义不依语，
依了义不依不了义，
依智不依识。

Four Reliances

Rely on the Dharma; rely not on persons.
Rely on the meaning; rely not on the words.
Rely on the complete meaning; rely not on the partial meaning.
Rely on the wisdom mind; rely not on the ordinary mind.

Comment: 不依不不依 (Rely not, and not ‘rely not’)

未能无住心，应依四依法。
不依四依法，不能无住心。

Yet to be able to abide one’s mind nowhere,
the Four Reliances should be relied upon.
Not relying on the Four Reliances,
one is unable to abide one’s mind nowhere.
