1.437

"Meeting would still end in extinction": even if one abides in the world for a long time, the gathering of the moment will also extinguish; meeting without extinction is ultimately impossible. The preceding explained extinction of oneself; this speaks of the extinction of others. How could it be so only for me? All things are like this. "Meeting" means gathering. Since there is a gathering together, it must inevitably end in separation. Gathering and separation have two aspects: first, the gathering and separation of master and disciples; second, the gathering and separation of the five aggregates. Thus, all things are impermanent.
