“The Jetavana Temple bells ring the passing of all things. Twinned sala trees, white in full flower, declare the great man's certain fall. The arrogant do not long endure: They are like a dream one night in spring. The bold and brave perish in the end: They are as dust before the wind.” LifeDeathExistenceImpermanence Book:The Tale of the Heike Source: The Tale of the Heike
