Life is swept along

Life is swept along,

next-to-nothing its span.

For one swept to old age

no shelters exist.

Perceiving this danger in death,

one should drop the world's bait

and look for peace.

The Buddha

This leaf fell from the Mahabodhi Tree growing at the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India and is a direct descendant of the original tree, Ficus religiosa under which Siddhartha Guatama sat for 49 consecutive days circa 528 BCE and was enlightened.

La vie est emportée,

sa durée est presque nulle.

Pour celui qui est emporté vers la vieillesse,

il n'existe aucun refuge.

Conscient du danger que représente la mort,

il faut abandonner les appâts du monde

et rechercher la paix.

Le Bouddha

Cette feuille est tombée de l'arbre Mahabodhi qui pousse au temple Mahabodhi à Bodh Gaya, en Inde. Elle est issue directement de l'arbre originel, un Ficus religiosa, sous lequel Siddhartha Guatama s'est assis pendant 49 jours consécutifs vers 528 avant J.-C. et a atteint l'illumination.
