註四十二章經 1.289

1.289

夫欲出生死苦，得大自在，必須堅持戒行，斷盡愛欲。如高處懸眾珠，一一擿之，苟心無懈怠，即珠必有盡時。若修行之徒銷其眾惡、積諸善行，久而不退，即諸惡斷盡，乃得道也。

Now, one who wishes to emerge from the suffering of birth and death and attain great sovereignty must firmly uphold the practice of the precepts and completely sever craving and desire. It is like beads suspended high up: plucking them one by one, if the mind does not slacken, the beads will surely be exhausted. If practitioners eliminate their multitude of evils and accumulate good deeds, persisting over a long time without backsliding, all evils will be completely severed, and then they will attain the Way.
