四十二章經 1.26

1.26

佛言：「人隨情欲求華名，譬如燒香，眾人聞其香，然香以熏自燒；愚者貪流俗之名譽，不守道真，華名危己之禍，其悔在後時。」

The Buddha said: "When people follow passion and desire in pursuit of fleeting fame, it is like burning incense: everyone smells its fragrance, but the burning incense consumes and burns itself. The foolish covet the reputation of worldly customs and do not preserve the truth of the Way; fleeting fame brings the calamity of endangering oneself, and its regret comes afterward."
