釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 2.98

2.98

汝起勿抱死屍臥，種種不淨假名人，
如得重病箭入體，諸苦痛集安可眠？
如人被縛將去殺，災害垂至安可眠？
結賊未滅害未除，如共毒蛇同室居，
亦如臨陣白刃間，爾時云何而可眠？
眠為大暗無所見，日日欺誑奪人明。
以眠覆心無所見，如是大失安可眠？

“Arise, do not lie embracing a dead corpse,
A mere nominally designated person of various impurities!
Like one stricken with a grave illness, an arrow piercing the body,
When all painful sufferings converge, how can you sleep?
Like one bound and being led to execution,
When catastrophe is imminent, how can you sleep?
The thieves of the defilements are not yet destroyed, the harm not yet removed,
Like sharing a room with a venomous snake,
Or like facing a battle amidst naked blades—
At such a time, how could you sleep?
Sleep is a great darkness in which nothing is seen,
Daily deceiving and robbing people of their clarity.
With sleep veiling the mind so that nothing is seen,
Facing such a great loss, how can you sleep?”
