緇門警訓 4.66

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.4.66)

一者萬類之中人身難得。如提謂經說。今得人身難於龜木。二者雖得人身中國難生。此土即當邊地之中。具足大乘正法經律。三者雖有正法信樂復難。今隨力信不敢疑謗。四者人身難具。今受男形根無殘缺。相貌成就。五者雖具男形六根無缺。五欲纏染出家甚難。今得割愛出家修道。披著佛衣受佛淨戒。六者雖受禁戒隨戒甚難。汝可於戒律中尊重愛樂。慚愧慎護。於此六事若不觀察。即便放逸深障聖道。既超六難常應喜慶。難得已得得已莫失。如是思量名為淨心。

> First: among the myriad species, a human body is difficult to obtain. As the Tiwei Sūtra says, obtaining a human body now is more difficult than a blind turtle encountering a piece of wood. Second: although obtaining a human body, being born in the central kingdom is difficult; yet this land, situated in the midst of the borderlands, is fully endowed with the sūtras and vinayas of the Mahāyāna Saddharma. Third: although the Saddharma exists, faith and joy in it are further difficult; yet now, according to one's ability, one has faith and dares not doubt or slander. Fourth: a complete human body is difficult to obtain; yet now one has received a male form with no deficient sense faculties and with physical features complete. Fifth: although possessing a male form with the six faculties complete, pravrajyā is extremely difficult when tangled and defiled by the five desires; yet now one is able to sever affection, undergo pravrajyā to cultivate the Way, put on the Buddha's robe, and receive the Buddha's pure precepts. Sixth: although having received the prohibitive precepts, complying with the precepts is extremely difficult; you should respect and delight in, feel shame and conscience for, and prudently guard the vinaya. If you do not observe these six matters, you will immediately become heedless and deeply obstruct the noble path. Having transcended the six difficulties, you should constantly rejoice; what is difficult to obtain has already been obtained, so having obtained it, do not lose it! Reflecting in this manner is called the purified mind.
