經律異相 14.27

14.27

當速求方便　於此佛法眾
當除生死患　如象食竹葉
若於此佛法　修諸無欲業
已除諸塵勞　亦盡苦源本

'One should swiftly seek expedient means, / within this community of the Buddha's Dharma; / one should eliminate the affliction of birth and death, / as an elephant consumes bamboo leaves. / If within this Buddha's Dharma, / one cultivates actions free from desire, / having removed all defilements, / one also exhausts the very root of suffering.'
