### [13.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.84)

惟念老病死　三界之大患  
福盡而命終　棄之於黃泉  
身爛還歸土　魂魄隨因緣  
吾用畏是故　學道求泥洹

> "Contemplating old age, sickness, and death: / The great afflictions of the triple realm! / When blessings are exhausted and life ends, / One is abandoned to the Yellow Springs. / The body rots and returns to the earth; / The soul follows its causes and conditions. / Because I fear these things, / I study the Way and seek nirvāṇa."
