### 戒憍奢意第二

> Chapter 2: Guarding Against Arrogance and Extravagance

衣食由來。長養栽種。墾土掘地。鹽煮蠶蛾。成熟施為。損傷物命。令他受死。資給自身。但畏饑寒。不觀死苦。殺他活己。痛哉可傷。兼用農功。積力深厚。何獨含靈致命。亦乃信施難消。雖復出家。何德之有。噫。夫欲出超三界。未有絕塵之行。徒為男子之身。而無丈夫之志。但以終朝擾擾。竟夜昏昏。道德未修。衣食斯費。上乖弘道。下闕利生。中負四恩。誠以為恥。故智人思之。寧有法死。不無法生。徒自迷癡。貴身賤法耳。

> Clothing and food come from nurturing and cultivation—plowing the earth, digging the soil, boiling salt, raising silkworms. All these activities, carried out to maturity, harm living beings, causing them to suffer and die, just to sustain ourselves. We only fear hunger and cold, but fail to see the suffering of death. Killing others to keep ourselves alive—how pitiful and heartbreaking this is! Moreover, the efforts of farming accumulate deep karmic burdens. How can we not only take the lives of sentient beings but also make it hard to digest the offerings given in faith? Even if one has left home to become a monastic, what virtue is there in this? Alas! Those who wish to transcend the three realms must first cut off worldly attachments. Yet here we are, merely bearing the form of a human, but lacking the resolve of a true practitioner. All day long we are restless and confused; all night we dwell in darkness. We neglect to cultivate virtue while consuming food and clothing. Above, we fail to spread the Dharma; below, we bring no benefit to living beings. In between, we betray the kindness of the four benefactors. Truly, this is shameful. Therefore, the wise reflect: better to die upholding the Dharma than to live without it. To be lost in delusion, valuing this body above the Dharma—what a pity!
