Chapter 50
To Die Is Gain
From birth to death
a
Three in ten are followers of life
b
Three in ten are followers of death
c
Three in ten live life and quickly step into death
Why is this so?
d
Because they strive excessively for worldly life
a
I heard whoever loses his life will find it
When traveling the roads they encounter no rhinos or tigers
e
When going into battle they are not harmed by weapons
Rhinos have nowhere to drive their horns
Tigers have nowhere to thrust their claws
Soldiers have nowhere to lodge their blades
Why is this so?
Because death no longer has mastery over them
