法苑珠林 21.84

21.84

五欲混神因　六賊亂心色
幻焰逐情飄　愛網隨心織
鑄金雖改秋　斬籌方未極
觀鴿既無辯　攀猿此焉息

The five desires obscure the causes of the spirit; / the six thieves disturb the mind and forms.
Illusory flames drift with the passions; / the net of affection is woven by the mind.
Though casting the gold may change with the autumns, / cutting the tally-sticks has not yet reached its limit.
Seeing the doves, discrimination ceases; / climbing like an ape, when will this come to rest?
