Although obtained, one's lifespan is short. Within this short life, there are three further evils: first, a stubborn and crooked mind that does not accept good words; second, constantly harboring miserliness and envy, fearing that others may surpass oneself; third, even if knowing that another surpasses oneself, feeling ashamed and not asking questions.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.165](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.165) - [Next: 2.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.167) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127~en-mt.2.166) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.166) · Pramāṇa
