筠州洞山悟本禪師語錄 1.165

Language

1.165

不求名利不求榮,只麼隨緣度此生,
三寸氣消誰是主,百年身後謾虛名。
衣裳破後重重補,糧食無時旋旋營,
一个幻軀能幾日,為他間事長無明。

Seeking neither fame nor profit, nor seeking glory, / Just thus according with conditions to pass this life. / When the three inches of breath cease, who is the master? / After a hundred years have passed, what use is empty fame? / When robes are torn, patch them layer upon layer; / When food runs out, manage it little by little. / How many days can a single phantom body last, / That for external matters one should nurture ignorance?
