Addressing the Assembly
蒿里新墳盡少年,修行莫待鬢毛斑,死生事大宜須覺,地獄時長豈等閒?道業未成何所賴?人身一失幾時還?前程黑暗路頭險,十二時中自著妍。
New graves in the wilds are filled with the young, Do not wait for gray hair to begin your practice. Life and death are matters of great urgency; The torments of hell are long—how can you be idle? If your spiritual work remains undone, what will you rely on? Once this human life is lost, when will it return? The road ahead is dark, the path perilous; In every moment, shape your own destiny.
