緇門警訓 8.59

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [8.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.8.59)

摩盤拭案強逢迎。終愧禪林本分僧。出世道心隨日減。  
順情人事逐年增。

> Rubbing platters and wiping tables to curry favor by force,  
> One should feel ashamed before the genuine monks of the Chan grove.  
> The mind directed toward the otherworldly Way decreases by the day;  
> Human affairs that cater to worldly feelings increase year by year.
