夫三界非有五陰皆無。四倒十纏共相和合。一切如電。揮萬劫於俄頃。丘井易淪。終漂沈於苦海。迷途遂遠。弱喪亡歸。區區七尺。莫知其假。耳目之外。終自空談。靡依靡救。不信不受。生靈一謝再返無期。所以撫心自惻臨危安泰也。

Now, the tridhātu does not exist, and the five skandhas are all non-existent. The four inverted views and the ten fetters harmonize and combine together. Everything is like lightning; ten thousand kalpas pass in an instant. The well on the hill is easy to fall into, and one ultimately drifts and sinks in the ocean of suffering. The straying path becomes ever more distant; lost in youthful folly, one forgets to return. Trivial is this seven-foot body, yet none recognize its illusory nature. Beyond what ears and eyes perceive, it is ultimately empty talk. With nothing to rely upon and none to rescue, neither believing nor accepting, once a living being's life ceases, there is no hope of return. Therefore, one should examine one's mind with self-compassion, and remain serene and peaceful when facing mortal danger.
