2.62

Aspiring to rebirth, aspiring to rebirth! / Śākyamuni Tathāgata spoke to Śāriputra, / Which is to universally address suffering sentient beings: / The six paths of Sahā are not a place of peace; / Walking in darkness through the long, dark night. / Residing together with the holy teachings, they do not recognize them; / Constantly stirring up the poison of anger and fighting with ignorance. / Bound by this ignorance to the six paths, / When will love, hate, high, and low ever be balanced? / Having no good karma to overcome birth and death, / Through greed creating sins, their hearts are not yet startled. / Taking this human skin to wrap the bones of an ass, / They enter the three wretched paths on their own, needing no dispute. / Hearing this, our hearts and marrow ache; / We vow to immediately abandon worldly glory, / Universally wishing to turn our minds and be born in the Pure Land. / Holding fragrant flowers in hand, they ever make offerings.
