13.82

"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."
