法苑珠林 62.22

62.22

"Reflecting on my sacrificial offerings,
Already eighty years have passed.
I served the gods of wind, water, and fire,
The sun, the moon, and the mountains and streams.
Early and late, never flagging or remiss,
With no other thought in my mind.
Yet in the end I attained nothing;
Only upon encountering the Buddha did I find peace."
