### [29.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.29.12)

悟解即是菩提。了本無有階梯。堪歎凡夫傴僂。八十不能跋蹄。徒勞一生虛過。不覺日月遷移。向上看他師口。恰似失嬭孩兒。道俗崢嶸集聚。終日聽他死語。不觀己身無常。心行貪如狼虎。堪嗟二乘狹劣。要須摧伏六府。不食酒肉五辛。邪眼看他飲咀。更有邪行猖狂。修氣不食鹽醋。若悟上乘至真。不假分別男女。

> Awakened understanding is itself Bodhi; / Comprehending the fundamental, there are no steps or stages. / Lamentable are the stooped ordinary people; / At eighty they cannot run on their feet. / In vain they pass an entire life in emptiness, / Unaware of the passing of sun and moon. / Looking upward at their teacher's mouth, / They are just like infants who have lost their milk. / Monks and layfolk gather in grand crowds, / All day long listening to his dead words. / Not contemplating the impermanence of their own bodies, / Their mental conduct is as greedy as wolves and tigers. / Pitiful is the narrow inferiority of the two vehicles, / Insisting on subduing the six viscera, / Not consuming alcohol, meat, or the five pungent roots, / Looking with deviant eyes at others eating and chewing. / There are further those of wild, heterodox practices, / Cultivating qi and abstaining from salt and vinegar. / If one awakens to the ultimate truth of the Supreme Vehicle, / There is no need to discriminate male and female.
