SN48_41: Jarā Sutta

Jarā Sutta - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

“I spit on you, wretched old age—

old age that makes for ugliness.

The bodily image, so charming,

is trampled by old age.

Even those who live to a hundred

are headed—all—to an end in death,

which spares no one,

which tramples all.”
