若謂好聲以為樂者。則應絲竹繁會觀聽無厭。何意小時便致昏倦耳不樂聞。當知是苦。若謂酣酒以為樂者。則應適意遣憂長無惱患。何故神昏心悶骨節慘痛。或因此事鞭杖鎖繫。喪身夭命破家亡國。受苦無量。

If one claims that pleasant sounds are joy, then amidst the dense ensemble of strings and winds, listening should never weary them. Why is it that after a short time they grow dazed and exhausted, and their ears take no delight in hearing? One should know that this is suffering. If one claims that indulging in wine is joy, then it should satisfy one's wishes, dispel sorrows, and forever leave one free of affliction. Why is it that their spirits grow clouded, their minds muddled, and their joints ache miserably? Or, on account of this matter, they face whipping and caning, shackles and fetters, losing their lives, meeting premature death, ruining their households, and destroying their states, undergoing immeasurable suffering.
