佛言:「愛欲之於人,猶執炬火,逆風而行,愚者不釋炬,必有燒手之患。貪婬、恚怒、愚癡之毒,處在人身,不早以道除斯禍者,必有危殃,猶愚貪執炬,自燒其手也。」

The Buddha said: "Craving and desire to a person are like holding a torch and walking against the wind. If a foolish person does not release the torch, they will surely suffer the disaster of burning their hand. When the poisons of covetous lust, anger, and foolish delusion reside within a person's body, if they do not eliminate this disaster early through the Way, there will surely be perilous calamities, just as when a foolish and greedy person holds a torch and burns their own hand."
