謂利養名聞、飲食臥具等，

無少分希求，於我何所作？

是身可厭患，損害如冤賊，

造作諸過愆，常樂非梵行。

又復此身者，為眾病依止，

不淨常盈流，實罪惡之器；

與心為近住，無思惟覺知，

剎那命終時，惡色深可畏。

壽煖識三緣，俱時而棄捨，

如枯木無知，形消流穢汁。

愚夫當盛年，迷亂多憍恣，

須臾不暫停，變異成衰老。

恃財富奢逸，廣造諸惡業，

是人命欲終，受極苦熱惱。

不樂於正法，何異彼非人？

違背涅盤城，棲止於邪道。

廣大修福報，由是生人間，

當乘智慧舟，永越於有海。

是身如掣電，類乾闥婆城，

云何於他人，數生於喜怒？

此身非堅牢，暫時而動轉，

常諂曲為心，寧免老死怖；

為疾病城邑，是憂惱舍宅，

亦如於田疇，生善不善種。

若人以施戒，慈智莊嚴身，

唯此善因緣，為第一堅固。

又說此身者，為諸界所依，

若能善覺了，速得於解脫。

此明自身界，虛假強分別，

若樂他蘊界，愚癡無出要。

若外具諸財。內界無寂靜，

於身善了知，則能脫諸苦。

由守護己財，復增於苦惱，

諸恐怖隨生，謂官賊水火。

若遠非法財，則無諸障礙，

棄捨常獲安，攝取當自咎。

應如實了知，自他蘊界相，

習定持經典，焚燒煩惱聚。

是故有智人，於身善觀察，

既明彼界性，是名解脫者。

We seek no personal gain, No praise, no fame, no food, drink, or material things. What could anyone do to truly harm me?

This body should be seen as a source of disgust, A source of harm, like a robber or an enemy. It creates so many faults and errors, Always delighting in unwholesome actions.

Furthermore, this body is the home of all illness, Always flowing with impurities, truly a vessel of evil. It dwells close to the mind, yet has no thought or awareness. At the moment of death, it becomes a horrifying sight.

The three factors of life—warmth, consciousness, and vitality— Are all abandoned together at that moment. Like a withered log, senseless and unaware, It decays and oozes foul fluids.

Foolish people in their prime Become confused, arrogant, and indulgent. But in a moment, without any pause, They change and age into decrepitude.

Relying on wealth, they live extravagantly, And commit many evil deeds. When their life is about to end, They suffer intense agony and torment.

If you take no delight in the true Dharma, What makes you different from a non-human being? You turn away from the city of Nirvana And dwell instead on the wrong path.

By cultivating vast good deeds and merit, One may be reborn again in the human realm. But they should board the vessel of wisdom To sail forever across the ocean of existence.

This body is as fleeting as a lightning flash, As real as a city of celestial illusions. So why do you constantly feel anger or delight At the actions of others?

This body is not firm or durable; It moves and changes only temporarily. The mind is always deceitful and twisted— How can it escape the fear of aging and death?

It is a city of disease, A dwelling place of sorrow and worry. Like a field of soil, it receives seeds That can grow into wholesome or unwholesome actions.

If a person, through generosity, ethical conduct, Compassion, and wisdom, adorns their body, Only this wholesome cause and condition Is truly strong and secure.

Furthermore, it is said that this body Is the abode of the elements. If one can clearly and wisely understand it, They can quickly attain liberation.

This explains that the own-nature of the body's elements Is merely an illusion, a false concept. If you cling to others' aggregates and elements, You are foolish and lack the path to escape.

If you possess external wealth But internally lack peace and stillness, Yet know the nature of the body well, Then you can transcend all suffering.

By being attached to guarding your own possessions, You only increase your own suffering. All kinds of fear will follow you— The fear of rulers, thieves, water, and fire.

If you abandon unwholesome wealth, Then there will be no more obstacles. To let go brings lasting peace; To cling and hoard brings only blame.

Thus, you should clearly and truly understand The nature of your own and others' aggregates and elements. Cultivate concentration and study the scriptures— Thus you will burn away the heap of afflictions.

Therefore, a wise person Carefully examines this body. By fully understanding the nature of its elements, They are called one who has found liberation.
