緇門警訓 9.151

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [9.151](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.9.151)

摺疊衣裳整齊鞋履。省約用籌點滴使水。屏息語言安詳進止。  
當念此身滿中盛屎。臭不可聞穢不可視。  
行廁革囊誠為可鄙。云何於身耽欲無恥。  
云何於食樂著肥美。結習成因果報必是。  
一入泥犁窮劫不已。苦樂在心昇沈由己。  
道豈遠哉。未之思爾。

> Fold your garments, arrange your shoes;  
> Economize the use of spatulas, use water drop by drop.  
> Hush speech; advance and stop with composure.  
> Consider that this body is filled with excrement;  
> Foul beyond smelling, defiled beyond viewing.  
> A walking latrine, a leather bag, truly contemptible!  
> Why indulge in desire for the body without shame?  
> Why delight in and crave rich delicacies for food?  
> Habitual afflictions form causes, and retribution is inevitable.  
> Once entering Avīci, it lasts for endless kalpas;  
> Suffering and joy abide in the mind, ascent and descent depend on oneself.  
> How could the Way be far? It is only that one has not thought of it.
