13.82

念人衰老時 百病同時生
水消而火起 刀風解其形
骨體筋脈離 大命要當傾
吾用畏是故 求道願不生

"I think of when a person declines in old age: / A hundred diseases arise simultaneously. / Water is dried up while fire flares; / The knife-like winds dismember the form. / The skeletal frame, tendons, and vessels separate; / Great life must inevitably tumble down. / Because I fear these things, / I seek the Way and vow never to be reborn."
