16.86

Idle in study, confused about the three teachings, / When questioned, one does not know a single thing. / Closed calyxes do not form a seed, / How can blossoming flowers yield fruit? / Vainly giving rise to a haughty mind, / Insulting others will not end well. / Plunging down into the obscure and dark paths, / Opening and shutting, secure, deep, and tight. / Once entered, for hundreds and thousands of years, / Ten thousand kotis of sufferings press hard. / Facing suffering, one regrets one's ignorance, / Which originally stemmed from falling into pride and disrespect. / The realized person is skilled at taking parables; / In establishing resolution, one must understand the Vinaya. / When the heroic disdain the Dharma, / How could they know they would regret it today?
