sorrow

	sorrow

1. Only things with which a man identifies himself are able to disturb his mind -- only that which concern "myself" can give me grief.

2. For him who has no dear (thing) there is no suffering. Those, I declare, are griefless, without passion (and) free from despair.

3. He who has a hundred dear (things), has a hundred sufferings; he who has ninety...., ten...., five...., two dear (things), has ninety...., ten...., five...., two sufferings.

4. The world is in continuous flux and is impermanent.

5. Whatever is the nature of arising, all that is of the nature of cessation.

6. Birth, old age, disease and death, grief and despair, separation from friends, the company of disliked ones, nonfulfilment of desires -- all these attributes of existence are suffering.

7. As with a staff the herdsman drives kine to pasture, even so do old age and death drive out the lives of beings.

8. Change, impermanence is characteristic of life.

9. Whatever is impermanent is "suffering".

10. Even when one has pleasure, it cannot continue forever.

11. All conditioned things are impermanent, when one sees this in wisdom, then one becomes dispassionate towards the painful. This is the path to purity.

12. He who sees sorrow sees also the arising of sorrow, sees also the cessation of sorrow, and see also the path leading to the cessation of sorrow.
