2.150

什曰:雖飄扇鼓作或來或去,直聚氣流動,非有存生壽也。身亦如是,呼吸吐納行作語言亦假氣而動,非有壽也。肇曰:常存不變謂之壽。而外風積氣飄鼓,動止無常。動止無常,風無壽也。外風既無壽,內類可知。

[Kumāra]jīva says: Though blowing, fanning, and surging, now coming and now going, it is merely gathered air circulating; it has no enduring life-span. The body is also like this: inhaling and exhaling, walking, acting, and speaking also move by borrowing breath; there is no life-span. [Seng]zhao says: Enduring constantly without changing is what is called 'life-span'. But external wind is accumulated air billowing and blowing, its movement and rest inconstant. Movement and rest being inconstant, wind has no life-span. Since external wind has no life-span, the internal counterpart may be known.
