御書聖訓【聖愚問答抄】 Gosho Quotes (Conversation between a Sage and an Unenlightened Man)

本文：
白駒過隙，時光瞬逝，屠羊運步，不知死之將近。空繫衣食獄，徒陷名利穴，三途歸舊里，六道任輪迴，有心之人，能不興歎、能不為悲耶？【聖愚問答抄】

通解：
人生猶如白駒過隙，如待宰的羊般不知死之將近，徒然地困於衣食的牢獄，墮於名利的陷阱之中，最終還是要回歸於三途的故里、輪迴六道的街巷，對於這件事，有心的人誰能不歎息，誰能不悲哀呢？

Unaware that time passes as quickly as a white colt glimpsed through a crack in the wall, ignorant as sheep being led to the slaughter, help hopeless prisoners by our concern for food and clothing, we fall heedlessly into the snares of fame and profit and in the end make our way back to that familiar village in the three evil paths, where we are reborn time after time in the realm of the six paths, What person of feeling could fail to grieve at such a state of affairs, or could fail to be moved to sorrow!
