緇門警訓 9.52

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [9.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.9.52)

金烏震怒兮爍爍如飛。火雲發炎兮騰騰若炊。  
江湖競熬煮。草木半黃萎。真金銷爍兮大石欲裂。  
猛虎喘息兮蛟龍唾垂。門有蓬蓽兮屋無片瓦。  
寢無帳席兮哭有多兒。耘苗匪倦戽水忘疲。  
顏容抹漆黑。背脊坼龜皮。咨爾釋氏。  
宜以審之。不耕而食不蠶而衣。屋有畫堂虛室。  
浴有清流曲池。帳垂翡翠簟展琉璃。閑尋泉石兮恣行恣坐。  
靜對風月兮自歌自怡。  
回頭一顧人間事。飲水須知可度時。無更恨風伯。  
休顛嗔雨師。

> The Golden Crow rages in fury, blazing as if in flight;  
> Fiery clouds emit scorching heat, billowing like steam.  
> Rivers and lakes compete in boiling; grasses and trees are half withered and yellow.  
> True gold melts away; great boulders are about to crack.  
> Fierce tigers pant for breath; flood dragons droop their saliva.  
> Hovels have doors of thatch; houses have not a single tile.  
> Sleeping without mats or curtains; weeping with many children.  
> Weeding the sprouts without wearying; baling water, forgetting exhaustion.  
> Faces smeared pitch-black; backs splitting like turtle shells.  
> Ah, you sons of Śākya!  
> You ought to examine this.  
> You eat without plowing; you wear clothes without raising silkworms.  
> Your houses have painted halls and airy chambers;  
> Your baths have pure streams and winding pools.  
> Curtains hang kingfisher feathers; mats spread lapis lazuli.  
> Idly seeking springs and stones, walking and sitting at will;  
> Quietly facing the wind and moon, singing and delighting in yourselves.  
> Turn your head to look back at the affairs of the human world;  
> Drinking water, you should know when the season can be crossed.  
> Do not harbor resentment toward the Wind Count,  
> Nor furiously rage against the Rain Master!
