30.57

襲氣變離宮。重柝警層殿。曼響感心神。修容展驩宴。生老終以縈。病死行當薦。方為淨國遊。豈結危城戀。

Inherited vapors change the detached palace; / repeated night-watches sound through the tiered halls. / Graceful music stirs mind and spirit; / lovely faces present joyful banquets. / Birth and old age will entangle in the end; / sickness and death are bound to advance. / About to roam in the pure land, / how could he cling in love to a perilous city?
