- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- The world is on fire:
- And are you laughing?
- You are deep in the dark.
- Will you not ask for light?
- For behold your body --
- A painted puppet, a toy,
- Jointed and sick and full of false imaginations,
- A shadow that shifts and fades.
- How frail it is!
- Frail and pestilent,
- It sickens, festers and dies.
- Like every living thing
- In the end it sickens and dies.
- Behold these whitened bones,
- The hollow shells and husks of a dying summer.
- And are you laughing?
- You are a house of bones,
- Flesh and blood for plaster.
- Pride lives in you,
- And hypocrisy, decay and death.
- The glorious chariots of kings shatter.
- So also the body turns to dust.
- But the spirit of purity is changeless
- And so the pure instruct the pure.
- The ignorant man is an ox.
- He grows in size, not in wisdom.
