佛言:「有一比丘,於山中坐,歎息。有一人問比丘:『卿為道,何以歎息?』比丘報言:『我在地獄中時,五毒極痛;今得作人,復得見佛經戒,而復不得道,畏死復入是惡道中,是故歎息耳!』為比丘亦憂俗人、亦憂經戒、亦自憂身,善意不可得常。或有因緣來時,便念妻子、錢財,是為墮惡道。」

The Buddha said: 'There was a monk sitting in the mountains who let out a sigh. A person asked the monk: "You practice the Way; why do you sigh?" The monk replied: "When I was in hell, the five poisons were exceedingly painful. Now that I have obtained a human body and have also met with the Buddha's scriptures and precepts, yet have still not attained the Way, I fear that upon dying I will fall into those evil destinies again; for this reason I sigh!" As a monk, he also worries about worldly people, he worries about the scriptures and precepts, and he worries about himself. A good state of mind cannot always be maintained; when conditions arise, he thinks of wife, children, and wealth—this leads to falling into the evil destinies.'
