________________
OF AVOIDING CARELESSNESS
The leaves of the tree wither and fall, when their days are gone, even so do the lives of men. Therefore, be not careless even for a while.
As dew-drops last but a while on the top of kusa 14 grass, even so do the lives of men. Therefore, be not careless even for a while.
As life is fleet and existence precarious, dust off the filth of previous karma. Be not careless even for a while.
Hard it is to have this human birth in the long span of time and hard also are the consequences of karma. Therefore, be not careless even for a while.
