འཆི་བའི་རྐྱེན་ནི་མང་བ་སྟེ། །

གསོ་བའི་རྒྱུ་ནི་ཉུང་ཟད་ཅིག །
དེ་དག་ཉིད་ནི་འཆི་བའི་ཡང༌། །

དེ་བས་རྟག་ཏུ་ཆོས་མཛོད་ཅིག །

Causes of death are numerous;
While causes of life are few indeed,
And even those may cause death,
So practise Dharma at all times.[1]

Nāgārjuna, Jewel Garland, verse 278

Notes

  1. Kun bzang bla ma’i zhal lung, ཀུན་བཟང་བླ་མའི་ཞལ་ལུང་ attributes a very similar verse to Āryadeva.
