What are called the five turbidities? First, people are mostly wicked and malicious, and do not understand righteousness and principle. Second, the sixty-two doubts and wrong views flourish vigorously, and they do not accept the teachings of the Way. Third, people have excessive attachment and desire, worldly toil proliferates, and they do not know what to renounce or pursue. Fourth, human lifespans are short; in ancient times, \[a decline from\] eighty-four thousand years was considered a great loss, but now lifespans are one hundred years, whether slightly longer or shorter. Fifth, when the antarakalpa draws toward its end, the three calamities will arise, and none shall escape harm. If there are those in this evil age of five turbidities who are able to have faith in and delight in the Buddha's true and genuine wisdom, that is exceedingly rare. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 98.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.98.12) - [Next: 98.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.98.14) - [Up: 98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.98) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.98.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.98.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.98.13) · Pramāṇa
