Samyuktagama (Sanskrit fragments) 769.8

769.8

「信戒為法軛，慚愧為長縻，
正念善護持，以為善御者，
捨三昧為轅，智慧精進輪，
無著忍辱鎧，安隱如法行，
直進不退還，永之無憂處，
智士乘戰車，摧伏無智怨。」

“Faith and precepts are the teaching’s yoke;
Conscience and modesty are its long tethers;
Right mindfulness well maintained
Is like a good driver.

Renunciation and samādhi are the poles;
Wisdom and effort are the wheels;
Detachment and tolerance are armor;
Peace and following the teaching move it.

He advances and doesn’t retreat,
Constant is his sorrowless standpoint;
The wise man rides this war chariot
That defeats the foe of ignorance.”
This sūtra is part of the Dharma Pearls translation project.
