7.168

Abiding is like dew on grass, which dries up as soon as the sun rises; sentient beings' false bodies are also like this. However, there are three meanings: 1. Life spans vary in length, for some die immediately after birth. 2. Compared to the higher realms, the time is extremely brief. 3. Moment-by-moment transition, arising and immediately perishing. Because of these three meanings, it says "a short time."
