An 'abandoned well on a hill' refers to a ruined old village mound and its ancient well. When people and dwellings have moved to a new site, the well cannot be moved and is seen collapsing day by day. Human aging is also like this: vigor and youthful complexion completely depart, leaving behind only the declining, aged skeleton to disintegrate. This is the perception of aging and ruin. Sengzhao states: "The spirit dwelling in the body being pressed by old age and death is like a person in danger inside an abandoned well being pressed by dragons and serpents; the story is found in another sūtra." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.287](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.287) - [Next: 1.289](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.289) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.1.288) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [注維摩詰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.172) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.288](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.288) · Pramāṇa
