釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 2.104

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.104](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.104)

不應作而作，應作而不作，  
煩惱火所燒，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。

> “Having done what should not be done,  
> And having left undone what should be done,  
> Burned by the fire of defilements,  
> One will fall into the evil realms in a future life.  
> If a person can repent of their transgressions,  
> Having repented, they should grieve no more;  
> In this way the mind is at peace and joy,  
> And one should not constantly brood over it.  
> If there are these two kinds of regret—  
> Either that what should be done was left undone,  
> Or that what should not be done was done—  
> This is the mark of a fool.  
> It is not by means of mental regret  
> That what was left undone can be done;  
> When various bad deeds have already been done,  
> One cannot make them undone.”
