Friends:
The
Problem of Life is sure Death!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
The days and nights are flying
past,
Life dwindles hurriedly away:
The life of mortals vanishes
Like water in a tiny stream.
SN 4:10
FUTURE FALL
As in the morning one may fear
The falling of the ripened fruits,
So all mortals in this world
Live in constant fear of death.
Since certain is their death!
Sn 576
CERTAIN
All beings are subject to death,
end in death, can never escape death.
As every earthenware pot that has
Been fashioned by the potter's hand,
No matter whether small or great,
Will fall & break to pieces in the end:
Just so are all beings subject to death,
end in death, can never escape death.
All beings some time have to die,
Their life one day will end in death,
And they will fare after their doings,
The good or bad fruits they will earn.
The evil-doer fares to the burning hell,
The good noble man to a happy world.
Hence, noble doings you should perform
As a safe provision for the next life,
For good doings in the next world give
To living beings their only support
On the other side!
SN 3:22
CRUSHED
Just as the mighty rocky mounts
Are stretching high up to the sky,
Traversing all the land around,
And weighing heavily down on it!
Just so do old age and death suppress
All living beings in this world, whether
warriors, priests, traders, workers,
The sweepers and the animals, too,
Not sparing anyone or anything whatsoever,
Crushing all life that can be found.
SN 3:25
MOMENTARY
Whosoever knows this body
to be as temporary as a bubble,
as insubstantial as the mirror image,
such one will break the flower tipped
arrows of Mara and cannot be seen by
this King of Death ...

SURPRISE
Death carries off the man while distracted
by gathering flowers of sensual pleasures,
exactly & even so as a great flood carries
away a sleeping village.
