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
Without diligently cultivating throughout our lives we are like a tree without roots.
Like picking a flower and constantly keeping it exposed to the sun, how long can it stay fresh?
Our life is the same, because death can come at any moment.
All practitioners, both monastics and householders, are earnestly urged to cultivate diligently until the truth is realized.
人生不精進,喻若樹無根;
採華置日中,能得幾時鮮。
人命亦如是,無常須臾間;
勸諸行道眾,勤修乃至真。
Namo Amituofo!
