13.80

"I consider the world's impermanence: / Human life must inevitably grow old. / As vigor departs, day by day one weakens and wanes; / The form withers and the head turns white. / Worry and toil give rise to a hundred diseases; / Sitting up and lying down bring sorrow, pain, and distress. / Because I fear these things, / I abandoned the kingdom and went forth to seek the Way."
