SEP4.2

~ Venerable Yin-shun 
SEEKING REFUGE
The sea of Existence has no boundaries,
The world is full of worry and suffering,
Flowing and turning, rising and falling,
Is there no place of refuge and support?

SEEKING REFUGE IN THINGS OF THIS WORLD
"Accumulations of wealth and riches can be lost,
Those with fame and high status can fall,
Those who are together may be scattered,
Those who are born must die."
The well-governed state will fall into chaos,
The world once formed faces destructions;
Of the pleasures and certainties of life,
None can be relied upon.
