The Long Āgama Sūtra 19.30

19.30

「汝今當敬順，建立於佛法；
當滅此魔眾，如象壞花藂。
專念無放逸，具足於淨戒；
定意自念惟，善護其志意。
若於正法中，能不放逸者；
則度老死地，永盡諸苦本。
諸弟子聞已，當勤加精進；
超度於眾欲，一毛不傾動。
此眾為最勝，有大智名聞；
弟子皆勇猛，為眾之所敬。」

“Now, you should be respectful
And establish the Buddha’s Dharma.
You must destroy this host of Māra
Like elephants trampling flowers and grass.

Focus your attention without carelessness
And perfect the pure precepts.
Still your minds, think naturally,
And guard your intentions well.

If in the correct teaching
You can not be careless,
You’ll be freed from old age and death
And forever end the source of suffering.

After disciples hear this,
They diligently make effort.
Transcending the myriad desires,
Not a single hair of theirs is disturbed.

This assembly is the greatest;
It possesses great knowledge and renown.
It’s disciples are courageous
And respected by the community.”
