Do not rely on your prime of youth, wealth, or power, indulging in laziness, indolence, and negligence. Once the suffering of death arrives, whether young or old, poor or rich, noble or base, all are wiped away; it arrives suddenly without letting anyone know. Indeed, the impermanence of life is like the morning dew: though the out-breath exists, the in-breath is hard to guarantee. How can you not perform kṣamā on this account? Moreover, when the five divine messengers have come and the rakshasa of impermanence suddenly arrives, none in the prime of youth or robust complexion can escape. At that time, what do magnificent halls and deep chambers have to do with human affairs? How could tall carriages and great horses follow you? Wives, children, and kin are no longer your relations; the seven treasures and precious adornments become toys for others. Speaking from this perspective, the fruits of retribution in the world are all like an illusion and a transformation. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 26.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.26.8) - [Next: 26.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.26.10) - [Up: 26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.26) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441~en-mt.26.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.26.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.26.9) · Pramāṇa
