sep5.5

~ Venerable Yin-shun
It is hard to become human, but having become human 
One should vigorously practice the Dharma.
Do waste time; this is like entering the mountain of treasure
And returning empty-handed and with regret.

People of the lower grade want to have better future lives
And happiness in the present and in the future.
People of the middle grade vow to leave the three realms
And enjoy the bliss of liberation in Nirvana.
People of the upper grade vow to attain bodhi
With great compassion, wisdom and ultimate bliss.
