法苑珠林 23.33

23.33

冬狐理豐毳　春蠶緒輕絲
形骸翻為阻　心識還自欺
齠齓歌鼓腹　平生少年時
驅車追俠客　酌酒弄妖姬
但念目前好　安知後世悲
惕然一以愧　永與情愛辭
願識真妄本　染淨自分離
羞慚滯五蓋　焉知同四依

The winter fox grows abundant fine fur; / The spring silkworm draws out light silk. / The physical frame, on the contrary, becomes an obstruction; / The mental consciousness, in turn, deceives itself. / Losing one's baby teeth, one sings and drums one's belly; / Throughout one's youth and early days, / Driving a carriage, one chases knights-errant; / Pouring wine, one dallies with bewitching beauties. / Only thinking of the delights before one's eyes, / How could one know the sorrow of future lives? / Startled, once feeling shame, / One says farewell forever to passion and love. / Wishing to know the origin of the real and the false, / The defiled and the pure naturally separate. / Ashamed to be hindered by the five hindrances, / How can one know how to equal the four reliances?
