A Verse sharing Compassionate Advice and Cautions - quoted from “In Praise of the Rite of Rebirth” by Master Shandao
善導大師《往生禮讚》慈悲勸誡
We deal with trivial daily matters quickly in the human world. We are not aware that time flies, day by day and year by year.
It is like candle light flickering in the wind, so difficult to keep burning. We have no important destinations within the busy Six Realms.
Since none of us can be liberated from the sea of suffering, how can we feel relaxed without any fear?
When each of us hears about the strong augmentative power [of Amitabha’s deliverance], we should urge ourselves to aspire to dwell in the permanent realm of Nirvana.
人間匆匆營眾務,不覺年命日夜去;
如燈風中滅難期,忙忙六道無定趣.
未得解脫出苦海,云何安然不驚懼;
各聞強健有力時,自策自勵求常住.
Namo Amituofo!
