貪心未甞滿　福善未曾憂
專求美飲食　飽[軗/口]無恥羞
昏塵全未拭　心垢豈能除
破齋常夜食　辜負施難詶
天長命自短　業催闇中游
漂浪四暴海　難逢六度舟
小惡猶不改　大善何能修
類同園池龍　焉得齊高流

The greedy mind is never yet satisfied;
Virtue and goodness have never been its concern.
Solely seeking fine food and drink,
Sated and gorged without shame,
Dark defilements are wholly unwiped;
How could the heart's taints be removed?
Breaking the fast and constantly eating at night,
Betraying gifts that are hard to repay.
Though heaven is vast, one's life is brief;
Urged on by karma, one roams in darkness.
Drifting in the four torrential seas,
Hard it is to meet the boat of the six pāramitās.
Minor evils are not even reformed;
How could great goodness be cultivated?
Comparable to the nāga in the garden pond,
How could one equal the exalted stream?
