Description:
閉關容易守關難，不肯修行總是閑，
身在關中心在外，千年不出也徒然。
Easy it is to enter a retreat, harder to stay in one,
Refusing to practice, one is always but idle;
Though the body stays in, the mind wanders out,
Not even a thousand years in there will help.
Refusing to practice, one is always but idle;
Though the body stays in, the mind wanders out,
Not even a thousand years in there will help.
