修習止觀坐禪法要 1.49

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1915.1.49)

「不應作而作，應作而不作，  
悔惱火所燒，後世墮惡道。  
若人罪能悔，悔已莫復憂，  
如是心安樂，不應常念著。  
若有二種悔，若應作不作，  
不應作而作，是則愚人相。  
不以心悔故，不作而能作，  
諸惡事已作，不能令不作。」

> "Doing what should not be done,  
> Failing to do what should be done,  
> Burned by the fire of regret and distress,  
> In a future life one falls into the evil realms.  
> If a person can regret their offenses,  
> Having regretted, they should no longer worry;  
> In this way the mind is peaceful and happy,  
> One should not constantly dwell on them.  
> If there are these two kinds of regret,  
> Failing to do what should be done  
> And doing what should not be done,  
> This is the mark of a foolish person.  
> It is not because of a regretful mind  
> That one can do what was left undone;  
> All the bad deeds having already been done,  
> One cannot make them undone."
