9.109

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。衣裳破處重重補。
糧食無時旋旋營。一箇幻軀能幾日。為他閑事長無明。

Seeking neither fame nor profit, nor seeking glory, / Simply following conditions to pass this life. / When the three inches of breath cease, who will be master? / After a hundred years, the body leaves behind only empty fame. / Where clothes are torn, patch them layer upon layer; / When provisions are exhausted, manage them little by little. / How many days can a single phantom body last, / To increase ignorance for the sake of other worldly affairs?
