诸行无常，
是生灭法。
生灭灭已，
寂灭为乐。
诸佛
《涅槃经》
As all formations* are impermanent,
they are arising and ceasing dharmas.*
With arising and ceasing ceased already,
tranquil extinguishment** is bliss.
All Buddhas
(Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra)
* phenomena of mind and matter
** Nirvāṇa: peace with extinction of the fires
of greed, hatred and delusion
(The first two lines are of the Relative Truth [俗谛];
the last two lines are of the Ultimate Truth [真谛];
the in between is of the Middle Truth [中谛].)
