19.27

Now, the three realms are not existent, and the five aggregates are entirely void. The four inversions and the ten entanglements combine together; everything is like lightning, casting away ten thousand kalpas in an instant. The well in the wilderness is easily fallen into, encompassing a hundred years in the clapping of hands. The straying path grows ever distant; losing one's way while frail, one forgets to return. Merely a petty seven-foot body, yet none know it is illusory. Beyond the ears and eyes, all in the end is idle talk. Having none to rely on and none to save them, they neither believe nor accept. Once a living spirit perishes, returning is beyond expectation. Therefore, one must examine one's heart and assess oneself, cultivating mindfulness when facing danger.
