佛說仁王般若波羅蜜經 2.10

2.10

"'When the kalpa-fire reaches its end, heaven and earth burn through and through;
Mount Sumeru and the vast oceans
are entirely reduced to ashes;
when the merit of gods and dragons is exhausted,
they wither and perish therein.
Even the two primal forces perish—
how could a kingdom be permanent?
Birth, old age, sickness, and death
revolve without limit;
affairs run contrary to one's desires;
sorrow and grief cause harm.
Desires are deep and calamities heavy,
boils and sores without exception;
the three realms are entirely suffering—
what reliance is there in a kingdom?
Being is fundamentally non-being;
causes and conditions bring about all things.
What flourishes must decline;
what is substantial must become empty.
Sentient beings, crawling and swarming,
are all like dwellers in an illusion;
sounds and echoes are both empty,
and the lands of the state are likewise so.
The conscious spirit has no physical form,
provisionally riding upon four serpents;
it takes the precious elephant of ignorance
to be a pleasure chariot.
The body has no permanent master;
the spirit has no constant home.
If body and spirit still separate,
how could a kingdom remain?'"
