《012》诸行 (和合事物、有为法)都不属于我们，它们会随顺自己的自然法则。我们对于身体的现象一点办法也没有，我们可以使它漂亮一点，暂时看起来动人且洁净，如同抹口红、留纤长指甲的少女一样。可是，一旦上了年纪时，任何人都一样。这就是身体的现象，我们无法使它做任何改变。但是，我们所能提升和美化的，就是这棵心。

Conditions don’t belong to us. They follow their own natural course. We can’t do anything about the way the body is. We can beautify it a little, make it look attractive and clean for a while, like the young girls who paint their lips and let their nails grow long, but when old age arrives, everyone is in the same boat. That is the way the body is. We can’t make it any other way. But, what we can improve and beautify is the mind.
