緇門警訓 9.115

9.115

訪舊論懷實可傷。經年獨臥涅槃堂。門無過客窓無紙。
爐有寒灰蓆有霜。病後始知身自苦。
健時多為別人忙。老僧自有安閑法。八苦交煎總不妨。

Visiting an old friend to talk of feelings is truly sorrowful; / For a whole year lying alone in the Nirvāṇa Hall. / The door has no visitors, the window has no paper; / The brazier holds cold ash, the mat holds frost. / Only after falling ill does one know one's body suffers; / When healthy, one mostly busied oneself for others. / This old monk has his own method of peaceful leisure: / Even when the eight sufferings scorch each other, it does not matter at all.
