Men should know that the pleasures of the senses
Are like the reflection of the moon in water,
Like images in a mirror, echoes off a cliff, and optical illusion,
Like spectacles of a dance, and like dreams.
Nirvana Sutra says:
Where things flourish, they will decline,
Where there is gathering, they will be parting.
Even youth is not eternal:
Lovely complexions are robbed by disease.
There is nothing at all that lasts forever.
Where things flourish, they will decline,
Where there is gathering, they will be parting.
Even youth is not eternal:
Lovely complexions are robbed by disease.
There is nothing at all that lasts forever.
