Buddhist Inspirations (since 1997)  THOUGHT  Victim/iser?  QUOTE  With Water Drops Although Tiny 水滴虽微 勿轻小罪，以为无殃。 水滴虽微，渐盈大器。 刹那造罪，殃堕无间。 一失人身，万劫不复。 壮色不停，犹如奔马。 人命无常，过于山水。 今日虽存，明亦难保。 《梵网经菩萨戒序》 Do not slight a small transgression, with it as being without disaster. With water drops although tiny, they can gradually fill a big vessel. In a kṣaṇa creating a transgression, is the misfortune of falling into the Uninterrupted Hell. Once losing this human body, for ten thousand kalpas not again with it. A strong form does not stop, similar to a running horse. Human life's impermanence, surpasses those of mountains and rivers. Today although surviving, tomorrow is likewise difficult to guarantee.
