Roots of Wisdom - The Transiency of Life


 


Heaven and earth exist for ten thousand ages but this body you will not receive again.

Man's life spans no more than a hundred years but the days pass with the greatest of ease.

He who has the good fortune to be born should not be unknowing of the joy of living.

Nor should he be oblivious of the sorrow of life's vanity.


Heaven and earth endure but human life is limited.  As a human being, one must appreciate the wonders and meaning of life.  Only then will life not be wasted.
