大方便佛報恩經 5.5

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5.5)

「佛者譬甘露，聽聞無厭足。  
佛當有懈怠，無益於一切。  
五道生死海，譬如墮污泥，  
愛欲所纏故，無智為世迷。  
前世行中正，加施而平等，  
故使眉間相，所照無有限。  
其眼如月初，徹覩十方國，  
能令人心眼，見者大歡喜。」

> "The Buddha is like amṛta;  
> One never tires of hearing him.  
> If the Buddha were to be indolent,  
> There would be no benefit to anyone.  
> The sea of birth and death in the five destinies  
> Is like falling into filthy mud;  
> Because one is entangled by craving and desire,  
> Being without wisdom, one is deluded by the world.  
> In past lives he practiced uprightness,  
> Giving with impartiality;  
> Therefore the mark between his eyebrows  
> Illuminates without limit.  
> His eyes are like the early moon,  
> Clearly seeing the lands of the ten directions,  
> Able to cause people's minds and eyes—  
> All who see him—to be filled with great joy."
