A verse about ‘coming back home’ from the Commentary on the Contemplation Sutra by Master Shandao
善導大師《觀經疏》「歸去來」:

Come back home.
Do not linger in the village of demons.
Throughout countless eons you have experienced reincarnation within all of the Six Realms.
In those realms there is no joy of any kind, but only the sound of sorrow and sighs.
You should aspire to enter the city of Nirvana at the end of this life.

歸去來,魔鄉不可停, 曠劫來流轉,六道盡皆經; 到處無餘樂,唯聞愁嘆聲, 畢此生平後,入彼涅槃城。

Namo Amituofo!
