Read the following passage carefully.
The Buddha said, "The life of mortals in this world is troubled and brief and combined with pain.

As ripe fruits are early in danger of falling, so mortals when born are always in danger of death. As all earthen vessels made by the potter end in being broken, so is the life of mortals. Both young and adult, both those who are fools and those who are wise, all fall into the power of death; all are subject to death". (The Sermon at Benares)
