佛說佛名經 30.88

30.88

「第一觀因緣者，知我此罪藉以無明，不善思惟無正觀力，不識其過遠離善友諸佛菩薩，隨逐魔道行邪嶮逕，如魚吞鈎不知其患，如蠶作繭自縈自縛，如鵝赴火自燒自爛，以是因緣不能自出。

"Regarding the first, contemplating causes and conditions: know that these offences of mine relied on ignorance, improper reflection, and lack of the power of correct contemplation, failing to recognise faults and distancing oneself from good spiritual friends, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas; following the ways of Māra and traversing dangerous paths, like a fish swallowing a hook unaware of the peril, like a silkworm spinning a cocoon tangling and binding itself, like a goose rushing into fire burning and rotting itself—due to these causes and conditions, one cannot free oneself.
