法苑珠林 43.18

43.18

不以錢財業　覺知欲厭足
樂少苦惱多　智者所不為
設於五欲中　竟不愛樂彼
愛盡便得樂　是三佛弟子
貪欲拘利盛　終便入地獄
本欲安所生　命為苦所切
諸法悉無常　生者必壞敗
生生悉歸盡　彼滅第一樂

Not by wealth or possessions
Is satisfaction of desires perceived.
Pleasure is scant and suffering is abundant;
The wise do not pursue them.
Even amidst the five desires,
One ultimately finds no delight in them.
When cravings are exhausted, one attains joy;
Such a one is a disciple of the Triply-Enlightened One.
When greed and desire flare up fiercely,
In the end one enters hell.
Where do original desires arise?
Life is oppressed by suffering.
All dharmas are impermanent;
Those that arise must perish.
All things born are subject to destruction;
Their cessation is the supreme joy.
