All too soon this body
Will lie on the ground,
Cast aside, deprived of consciousness,
Like a useless scrap of wood.

"I shall live here in the rains,
There in winter,
Elsewhere in summer," muses the fool,
Not aware of the nearness of death.

For behold your body — A painted puppet, a toy,
Jointed, sick and full of false
imaginings,
A shadow that shifts and fade.

Just as on a rubbish heap swept up on a main road a purely fragrant, delightful lotus might there spring up, Even so amidst those rubbish heaps (of men) does the savaka of the Perfectly Enlightened One outshine in insight the blind puthujjana

"Năm pháp nào cần phải an trú nội tâm?
"Ta nói đúng thời, không phải phi thời; ta nói đúng sự thật, không phải không đúng sự thật; ta nói lời nhu hòa, không phải nói lời thô bạo; ta nói lời liên hệ đến mục đích, không phải lời không liên hệ đến mục đích; ta nói với tâm từ bi, không nói với tâm sân hận".
Năm pháp này cần phải an trú nội tâm."

Vsetko co sme, je dosledkom je dosledkom toho, co sme si mysleli

Just as a line drawn on water with a stick will quickly vanish and will not last long; even so is human life like a line drawn on water. It is short, limited, and brief; it is full of suffering, full of tribulation. This one should wisely understand, one should do good and live a pure life; for none who is born can escape death.

Sensual craving gives rise to grief;
Sensual craving gives rise to fear.
For someone released from sensual craving
There is no grief;
And from where would be fear?

Fearless, free of craving, and without blemish,
Having reached the goal
And destroyed the arrows of becoming
One is in one's final body.

Tune as the sitthar, neither high nor low, and we will dance away the hearts of men.

Love is a fleeting emotion, to reach true nirvana one must know themselves and forsake love, for it breeds contempt.

Nė viena pasaka nepatikėkit,
Nors šimtmečius ilgus
Daugybė kraštų jas laikė tikrove.
Netikėkit ir tuo, ką
Kiti žmonės be perstojo kalba,
Nors išminčiaus žodžius jie kartotų
Ar pasiremtų raštais šventais.
Netikėkite niekuo,
Sapnuose ką regėjot, ką vaizduotė sukūrė,
Nors manot, kad siunčia tuos vaizdinius
Dievas.
Nepriimkite žodžių už tiesą,
Nors kažkas juos pridengtų šventuolio ar
Meistro vardu.
Patikėkit tik tuo, ko karti patirtis
Ilgai Jus pačius per išbandymus mokė,
Kas nekliudo gerovės nei Jums, nei kitiems.

Those who do not know satisfaction, even when living in a heavenly palace, are still not satisfied. Those who do not know satisfaction, even if rich, are poor. People who know satisfaction, even if poor, are rich.

Virtuous people always let go.
They don't prattle about pleasures and desires.
Touched by happiness and then by suffering,
The sage shows no sign of being elated or depressed.

Patience is the highest asceticism.
