梁朝傅大士頌金剛經 1.103

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.103](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2732.1.103)

施命如沙數　人天業轉深  
既掩菩提相　能障涅槃心  
猿猴探水月　莨菪拾花針  
愛河浮更沒　苦海出還沈

> Giving one's life as many times as the grains of sand,  
> The karma of humans and devas turns ever deeper;  
> It obscures the mark of bodhi  
> And can obstruct the mind of nirvāṇa.  
> Like monkeys reaching for the moon in water,  
> Or gathering flowering needles among henbane,  
> Drifting and sinking anew in the river of craving,  
> Emerging only to sink again in the ocean of suffering.
