In my life I was to content to see my image only if reflected in the waters of a pool, glimpsed and then gone.
Where now are the wealthy merchants of Shahr-i-Gholghola who thought that building the statues could buy them merit?
Impermanence is thus.
Also, I always thought they got my nose wrong.
Remember that the desire of a thoughtlessly living man grows like a creeper. He drifts from one life to another like a monkey looking for fruit in the forest.
All processes are impermanent. When one sees this with understanding, then one is disillusioned with the things of suffering. This is the Path of Purification.
Those who meditate with perseverance, constantly working hard at it, are the wise who experience Nirvana, the ultimate freedom from chains.
