法苑珠林 5.57

5.57

一切諸世間　生者皆歸死
壽命雖無量　要必有終盡
夫盛必有衰　合會有離別
壯年不久停　盛色病所侵
命為死所吞　無有法常住
諸王得自在　勢力無等雙
一切皆遷滅　壽命亦如是
眾苦輪無際　流轉無休息
三界皆無常　諸有無有樂
有道本性相　一切皆空無
可壞法流動　常有衰患者
恐怖諸過惡　老病死衰惱
是諸無有邊　易壞怨所侵
煩惱所纏裹　猶如蠶處繭
何有智慧者　而當樂是處
此身苦所集　一切皆不淨
扼縛癰瘡等　根本無義利
上至諸天身　皆亦復如是
諸欲皆無常　故我不貪著
離欲善思惟　而證於真實

“Throughout all the worlds,
All who are born must return to death;
Though one’s lifespan may be immeasurable,
It will unfailingly come to an end.

What flourishes must decline;
Meetings must end in separation;
Youth does not linger long;
A glowing complexion is assailed by sickness.

Life is swallowed up by death;
There is no dharma that is permanent.
Though kings obtain mastery
And their power is without equal,

All undergo transition and destruction,
And their lifespans are likewise so.
The cycle of manifold sufferings is boundless,
Revolving without rest.

The three realms are all impermanent;
Among all states of existence there is no pleasure.
The intrinsic nature of the realm of existence
Is entirely empty and void of anything.

Dharmas subject to destruction are in flux,
Ever attended by decline and disaster,

By terrifying faults and evils,
By old age, sickness, death, decline, and distress.
These are endless,
Easily ruined and assailed by enemies.

Entangled by afflictions (kleśa),
Like a silkworm dwelling in a cocoon—
How could anyone endowed with wisdom
Take pleasure in this place?

This body is an accumulation of suffering,
Wholly impure throughout;
A bondage of boils, ulcers, and sores,
Ultimately void of benefit or purpose.

Ascending even to the bodies of the gods,
They too are just like this.
All desires are impermanent;
Therefore I do not crave or cling to them.

Free from desire and reflecting skillfully,
I have realized the true reality.”
