法苑珠林 91.49

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [91.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.91.49)

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?
