法苑珠林 51.65

51.65

Good and evil naturally oppose each other;
Light and darkness do not dwell together.
The Sage pities the bewildered flock,
Taking the opportune moment to enter saṃsāra.
Admiring virtue dispels clamour and vexation;
Restraining the mind reveals the true reality.
Selecting companions, evil naturally ends;
Escaping suffering only then begins.
