法苑珠林 70.30

70.30

Sensuality is an impure practice; / Deluded, one strays from the right path. / The body wastes away, the spirit is terrified, / Life is harmed and cut short early. / Suffering retribution, one becomes dull, foolish, and wild; / At death, one falls again into evil destinies. / Therefore, I gave away my wife and children, / Set my resolve, and delighted in the mountains and forests.
