法苑珠林 86.15

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [86.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.86.15)

欲味及欲過　何者為最多  
我以慚愧䩙　捉持智慧秤  
思量如此事　心已得通達  
不見其有利　鈍者欲衰患  
以是故我今　宜應捨離欲  
往詣於僧坊　復還求出家

> “Between the flavor of desire and the fault of desire,  
> Which one is the greater?  
> Using the straps of shame and remorse,  
> I hold the steelyard of wisdom.  
> Having weighed such a matter,  
> My mind has now attained understanding.  
> I see no benefit in it;  
> Only the dull-witted desire its afflictions.  
> For this reason, I now  
> Ought to abandon and separate from desire,  
> Go to the monastery,  
> And once again seek to go forth into homelessness.”
