Dear relations, listen to me. Omniscient Lord Buddha, As well as the noble Sangha, Have shattered all bonds of desire To attain the freedom of liberation. Craving and desire are frightful enemies. Like a devastating fire, they bring All troublesome sorrows in their wake. Like enemies, they chose to punish us.
Sensual pleasures are a terror, Poisoning the minds of people.
Like a poisoned dart, they pierce the pure mind, Misleading people to danger and sin. Pleasures of the senses are frightful, Like a snake's head about to sting. Those ignorant people, Who unable to cross the mire of desire, Wallow in the pleasures of the senses. In the vast sea of existence. Thus craving brings forth, Rebirth in sorrowful conditions.
