集古今佛道論衡 2.17

Language
Classical Chinese

2.17

願捨此身已 速令身自在
法身自在已 自在諸趣中
隨有利益處 護法救眾生
又復業應盡 有為法皆然
三界皆無常 時來不自在
他殺及自死 終歸如是處
智者所不樂 業盡於今日

"May I, having discarded this body,
Quickly attain mastery of form;
Having attained mastery in the Dharma-body,
May I be master in all destinies,
Wherever there is benefit to be made,
Protecting the Dharma and rescuing sentient beings.
Furthermore, karma must come to an end;
Conditioned phenomena are all like this.
The trailokya is entirely impermanent;
When the time comes, there is no freedom.
Killed by others or dying of oneself,
In the end one returns to such a place.
What the wise do not delight in—
Karma comes to an end today."
