The Discourse on Ageing and Death

114.More DetailsCommentaries At Sāvatthī. Seated to one side, King Pasenadi of Kosala said this to the Blessed One - "Is there indeed, venerable sir, for one who is born, anything apart from ageing and death?" "There is not, great king, for one who is born, anything apart from ageing and death. Even those wealthy warriors, great king, who are rich, of great riches, of great possessions, with abundant gold and silver, with abundant wealth and provisions, with abundant riches and grain, for them too who are born there is nothing apart from ageing and death. Even those wealthy brahmins, great king, etc. wealthy householders who are rich, of great riches, of great possessions, with abundant gold and silver, with abundant wealth and provisions, with abundant riches and grain, for them too who are born there is nothing apart from ageing and death. Even those monks, great king, who are Worthy Ones, who have eliminated the mental corruptions, who have lived the holy life, who have done what had to be done, who have laid down the burden, who have attained their own welfare, who have utterly eliminated the fetters of existence, who are completely liberated through final knowledge, for them too this body is subject to breaking up, subject to being laid down." This he said, etc.

"Royal chariots, beautifully decorated, indeed decay,

And also the body approaches ageing;

But the teaching of the virtuous does not approach ageing,

The virtuous indeed declare this among the virtuous."
