Description:
不結善緣結惡緣
晉 跋陀羅（生卒年不詳）
不結善緣結惡緣， 苦貪名利受熱煎，
豈知住世金銀寶， 借汝閒看幾十年。
──《蓮邦詩選》
Unwholesome Instead of Wholesome
Buddhabhadra (Years unknown, Jin Dynasty)
English translation: You Zai
Making unwholesome affinity instead of wholesome ones,
One shall suffer from greed for wealth and fame;
Know of all worldly fortunes as such:
They are none other than decades of transient views.
── from Lianbang Shixuan (Selection of Lotus Land Poems)
