Assembly, when exclusively cultivating the karma of the Pure Land, you must sit alone and quietly contemplate. Do not say you are destined to remain in Jambudvīpa; without ceasing for an instant, impermanence arrives. Life is like the flame of a lamp or candle in the wind, and also like a flash of lightning in the clouds. Failing to prepare for the eighteen sufferings of the three wretched paths, once impermanence arrives, where will you hide? Suddenly reflecting on this is deeply lamentable; how can you not be startled and alarmed day and night? From ancient times, sages and worthies have not escaped death; how much less can common worldlings obtain long life! Practitioners, exert effort and cultivate the ten good deeds; know that the body is unstable and subject to impermanence; may we, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Peace and Bliss. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1.22) - [Next: 1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1.24) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829~en-mt.1.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2829.1.23) · Pramāṇa
