五、戒睡眠
[5] Abstinence [From] Drowsiness
【释迦牟尼佛】：汝等比丘，昼则勤心修习善法，无令失时。初夜后夜，亦勿有废。
[Śākyamuni Buddha]: You [and] other Bhikṣus, [in] day then, [should be with the] diligent mind practising good Dharma [teachings], without leading [to] missed opportunities. [In the] first [period of the] night [i.e. 6 p.m. – 10 p.m.] [and the] later [period of the] night [i.e. 2 a.m. – 6 a.m.], also not having [them] abandoned.
中夜诵经，以自消息，无以睡眠因缘，令一生空过，无所得也。
[In the] middle [period of the] night [i.e. 10 p.m. – 2 a.m.] reciting sūtras, with [this] naturally [having] restrained rest, not with drowsiness [i.e. also sleepiness] [as] cause [and] condition, [that] leads [to this] one life [being] passed in vain, without that attained.
当念无常之火，烧诸世间，早求自度，勿睡眠也。诸烦恼贼，常伺杀人，甚于怨家，安可睡眠，不自警寤？
[You] should [be] mindful [of the] fire of impermanence, [that] burns all [in the] world, soon seek self-deliverance, [and] not [be] drowsy. [As] all afflictions’ thieves, [are] constantly waiting [to] kill people, [even] more [so] than enemies, how can [there be] drowsiness, [to] not personally [be] vigilant [to] awaken?
烦恼毒蛇，睡在汝心，譬如黑蚖，在汝室睡，当以持戒之钩，早摒除之。睡蛇既出，乃可安眠。不出而眠，是无惭人也。
[As] afflictions’ poisonous snakes, sleeping in your minds, for example, [are] like black vipers, in your bedrooms sleeping, [you] should with [the] hook of upheld precepts, soon expel them. [With the] sleeping snakes already gone, then can [there be] peaceful sleep. [With them] not gone yet sleeping, is [to be] shameless persons.
惭耻之服，于诸庄严，最为第一。惭如铁钩，能制人非法，是故常当惭愧，无得暂替。若离惭耻，则失诸功德。
[The] robes of [moral] shame [i.e. also humility], of all adornments, [are] as [the] most foremost. [As] shame [is] like [an] iron hook, able [to] restrain people [from] non-Dharma, therefore constantly should [there be] shame [i.e. also repentance], without having [it] temporarily replaced. If departing [from] shame, [they will] then lose all meritorious virtues.
有愧之人，则有善法；若无愧者，与诸禽兽无相异也。
Of people having shame, [they will] then have good Dharma [teachings]. If [there are] those without shame, [they are] with all birds [and] beasts, without differences [from] one another.
