Xue Wei's original text and translation notes
"For learning" original:

How difficult is it in the world? For it, it is easy and difficult; If you don't do it, it's hard for easy people. Is it difficult for people to learn? Learned, difficult people will be easy; If you don't learn, it will be difficult for easy people.

There are two monks in Shu, one is poor and the other is rich. The poor man said to the rich man, "What do I want in the South China Sea?" The rich man said, "Why should I go?" Yue: "I have a bottle and a bowl." The rich man said, "I have always wanted to buy a boat for many years, but I have never been able to buy it." Why do you want to go? "In the second year, the poor will come back from the South China Sea to tell the rich. The rich are ashamed.

I don't know how many miles it takes to go to the South China Sea in Xishu, but rich monks can't go and poor monks can't go. People's aspirations are not as good as humble monks.

Xue Wei's Translation

Is there a difference between hard and easy things in the world? As long as you do it, the difficult things will be easy; If you don't do it, the easy things will become difficult. Is there a difference between learning difficultly and learning easily? As long as you study, everything is easy; If you don't study, it will be so easy and so difficult.

There are two monks on the border of Sichuan, one is poor and the other is rich. The poor monk said to the rich monk, "I want to go to the South China Sea. How about it? "
