如佛說義足經云。佛告梵志言。世有五事。不可得避。亦無脫者。何等為五。一當耗減法。二當亡棄法。三當病瘦法。四當老朽法。五當死去法。此之五法欲使不耗減。是不可得。

As the Arthapada Sūtra spoken by the Buddha states: The Buddha told a brahmacārin: "There are five things in the world that cannot be avoided, nor can anyone escape them. What are the five? First, the state of inevitably being depleted; second, the state of inevitably being discarded and lost; third, the state of inevitably becoming sick and emaciated; fourth, the state of inevitably decaying through old age; fifth, the state of inevitably dying. Wishing these five states not to bring depletion is impossible to attain."
