见惭耻人,当愿众生,
具惭耻行,藏护诸根。
见无惭耻,当愿众生,
舍离无惭,住大慈道。
– 文殊菩萨
(华严经: 净行品: 第114-115偈)
Seeing those with [moral] shame,
[reflect that] ‘May sentient beings,
[be] complete with [moral] shame [in their] practice,
[to] carefully protect all [sense] roots.’*
Seeing those without [moral] shame,
[reflect that] ‘May sentient beings,
renounce and depart [from] shamelessness,
[to] abide [on the] path [to] great loving-kindness.’
– Manjusri Bodhisattva
