17.29

“Liquor is the root of heedlessness; / not drinking it closes the evil destinies. / Rather give up hundreds of thousands of bodies / than transgress and violate the Dharma's teachings. / Rather let the body wither and dry / than ever drink this liquor. / Even if violating the precepts / allowed a lifespan to reach a full hundred years, / it would be better to guard the prohibitory precepts / and have the body immediately perish. / Even if it were certain to bring a cure, / I still would not drink it; / how much less when it is now uncertain / whether it will bring a cure or not! / Causing this resolute mind to arise / brings forth great joy in the mind; / immediately one attains the vision of the True Reality, / and the affliction is straightway dispelled.”
