怪哉臨命終　破我戒瓔珞
以戒莊嚴身　不用殯葬具
人身既難得　遭值戒復難
願捨百千命　不毀破禁戒
無量百千劫　時乃值遇戒
閻浮世間中　人身極難得
雖復得人身　值正法倍難
時復值法寶　愚者不知取
善能分別者　此事亦復難
戒寶入我手　云何復欲奪
乃是怨憎者　非我之所親

'How strange, that approaching the end of my life, / You would break the necklace of my precepts! / Adorning the body with the precepts, / One has no need of funeral equipment. / Since a human body is hard to obtain, / Encountering the precepts is even harder. / I would rather give up a hundred thousand lives / Than violate and break the prohibitive precepts. / Over boundless hundreds of thousands of kalpas, / Only occasionally does one encounter the precepts. / In the world of Jambudvīpa, / A human body is exceedingly hard to obtain. / Even if one obtains a human body, / Encountering the True Dharma is twice as hard. / When at times one encounters the jewel of the Dharma, / The foolish do not know to grasp it. / One who is able to distinguish it well— / Such a thing is also difficult. / The jewel of the precepts has entered my hand; / Why would you seek to rob it again? / Truly you are one who harbors enmity, / And not my relative!'
