《013》假如身体真的属于我们的话，它就会听从我们的命令。如果我们说：[不能老] 或 [我禁止你生病] 它会听从我们吗？不会的，它不听从任何警告。我们只是租了这栋 [房子]，不是拥有它。如果我们认为它属于我们的，当我们必须舍弃它时，就会痛苦。但事实上，并没有一个恒常自我的东西存在，没有任何我们可以把持而不会变迁或坚固的东西。

If our body really belonged to us, it would obey our commands. If we say, "Don’t get old," Or "I forbid you to get sick" does it obey us? No! It takes no notice. We only rent this "house", not own it. If we think it does belong to us, we will suffer when we have to leave it. But in reality, there is no such thing as a permanent self, nothing unchanging or solid that we can hold on to.
