A Verse sharing Compassionate Advice and Cautions, quoted from ‘In Praise of Pratyutpanna’ by Master Shandao
善導大師《般舟讚》慈悲勸誡
Being blind to important truths, we reincarnate life after life according to our karma.
Thus, we fall into the deep trenches of painful rebirths because of our past karma.
Constantly entrapped by our fires of greed and hatred,
We harm ourselves and other people.
We sink deeper and deeper into the sea of ignorance,
Without any karmic conditions to enable us to find a piece of wood that will prevent us from sinking ever more deeply.
生盲信業走,隨業墮深坑;
縱此貪瞋火,自損損他人;
長沒無明海,遇木永無緣。
Namo Amituofo!
