惰學迷三教　問者不知一
合萼不結核　敷華何得實
徒生高慢心　陵他非好畢
墜落幽闇道　關閉牢深密
一入百千年　萬億苦切逼
對苦悔無知　方由惰慢得
至人善取譬　愚智須明律
英雄慢法時　焉知悔今日

Indolent in study, one is confused about the Three Teachings;
when questioned, one does not understand a single thing.
Joining calyxes without forming a kernel,
how can blooming flowers yield fruit?
In vain one produces an arrogant mind;
oppressing others will come to no good end.
Falling into the paths of gloomy darkness,
locked tightly in deep confinement.
Once entered, for hundreds and thousands of years,
myriads of billions of agonies press sharply.
Facing the suffering, one regrets one's ignorance,
which was truly brought about by indolence and arrogance.
The perfected person is skilled at drawing analogies;
both the foolish and the wise must clarify the rules.
When the haughty hero despises the Dharma,
how could he foresee the regrets of today?
