Rolls in like a Mountain of Stone!

Old age, sickness, and death roll in over all living creatures like a mountain of stone. It crushes everyone—no class of people is spared. It cannot be warred against, or outwitted, or bought.

So, the skillful person clearly sees what’s best for them. They must place their confidence in the Awakened (Buddha), the Method to Awaken (Dhamma), and the Community that Supports the Practice (Sangha)—because those who conduct themselves by the Way, in Body, Speech, and Mind are praised here in this life; and after they die, they can look back happy!
