往生禮讚偈 1.70

1.70

人間怱怱營眾務，不覺年命日夜去，
如燈風中滅難期，忙忙六道無定趣。
未得解脫出苦海，云何安然不驚懼？
各聞強健有力時，自策自勵求常住。

In the human realm, hastily managing diverse affairs, / one fails to perceive that years and life pass away day and night; / like a lamp in the wind, its extinguishing is hard to predict; / bustling restlessly through the six destinies, there is no fixed destination. / Not having attained liberation to emerge from the sea of suffering, / how could one remain at ease without alarm and fear? / Hearing this, while each of you is strong and vigorous, / urge and encourage yourselves to seek eternal abiding.
