法苑珠林 34.39

34.39

世間若無有　慚愧二法者
違越清淨道　向生老病死
世間若成就　慚愧二法者
增長清淨者　永閉生死門

"If in the world there were not / The two dharmas of shame and remorse, / One would transgress against the pure path / And head toward birth, old age, sickness, and death. / If the world accomplishes / The two dharmas of shame and remorse, / Increasing that which is pure, / It will forever shut the gate of birth and death."
