Do not look for a chance to go out.
But if necessary, going out is permitted once a month.
People in the past lived in the remote mountains and practiced
far away in the forests. Not only were they free of all worldly affairs,
but they abandoned all relationships. You should learn the heart of their
covering brilliance and obscuring traces. Now is the time for the fire
on your head to be wiped out. Is it not sad if you waste this time,
concerning yourself with secular affairs? The impermanent
is unreliable. Nobody knows where or when this
dew-like existence will drop into the grass.
Not recognizing impermanence is
truly regrettable.
