像法一千年。前五百年。多聞為正宗。福德為兼脩。後五百年。福德為正宗。鬪諍為兼脩。

菩薩戒經云。是日已過。命亦隨減。如少水魚。斯有何樂。眾等當勤精進。如救頭然。但念無常。慎勿放逸。

> The Bodhisattva Precepts Sutra says: This day has already passed, and with it our lives grow shorter. Like fish in dwindling water, what joy is there in this? All of you should strive with diligence, as if putting out a fire on your own heads. Keep mindfulness of impermanence, and be careful not to be lax.
