FragileBhidurasutta

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“This body is fragile, mendicants, consciousness is liable to fade away, and all attachments are impermanent, suffering, and perishable.”“Bhidurāyaṁ, bhikkhave, kāyo, viññāṇaṁ virāgadhammaṁ, sabbe upadhī aniccā dukkhā vipariṇāmadhammā”ti.

The Buddha spoke this matter.Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. On this it is said:Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Knowing that the body is fragile,“Kāyañca bhiduraṁ ñatvā, that consciousness is faded,Viññāṇañca virāgunaṁ; and seeing the danger in attachments,Upadhīsu bhayaṁ disvā, they go beyond birth and death.Jātimaraṇamaccagā; Having attained ultimate peace,Sampatvā paramaṁ santiṁ, evolved, they await their time.”Kālaṁ kaṅkhati bhāvitatto”ti.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
