ANICCA.
He who desires desires a change.
Change is the tale of life and death.
Matter and motion rearrange
Their endless coils; the Buddha saith:
‘Cease, O my sons, to desire!
Change is the whole that we see
By the light of a chaos on fire.
Cease to desire—you are free!”
_ Your words, good Gotama, are brave and true;
Easy to say, but difficult to do!
