修習止觀坐禪法要 1.36

1.36

「入道慚愧人，持鉢福眾生，
云何縱塵欲？沈沒於五情。
已捨五欲樂，棄之而不顧，
如何還欲得？如愚自食吐。
諸欲求時苦，得時多怖畏，
失時懷熱惱，一切無樂處。
諸欲患如是，以何能捨之？
得深禪定樂，即不為所欺。」

"A person of shame who has entered the Path,
Holding the bowl to bring blessing to sentient beings—
How could you indulge the desires of dust
And sink into the five senses?
Having already relinquished the pleasures of the five desires,
Discarding them without looking back,
How could you wish to reclaim them?
Like a fool eating his own vomit.
All desires are painful when sought,
Bring much fear when obtained,
And harbor burning torment when lost;
In none of them is there any pleasure.
Such are the perils of all desires;
By what means can one relinquish them?
Attaining the bliss of deep dhyāna-concentration,
One will not be deceived by them."
