four things are constant:
no world lasts forever
but will be swept away;
it is no shelter
and protects not;
one will leave everything behind
in passing to the next life;
life is incomplete
and unsatisfying.

from desire and sorrow

to pass beyond birth and death.
like a swan rising from a lake,
he moves on in peace
never looking back.

all possessions will be lost,
all meetings will end in separation,
all life will end in death.

is connected to everything else.
