Dhammapada verses 146–156 explore impermanence, the nature of the body, and the inevitability of aging and death. Through metaphors of a world ablaze, a decaying body, the house-builder and a city of bones, they point to life’s transience and the futility of clinging to sensual pleasures. The verses highlight the cultivation of wisdom, detachment, and the pursuit of an unconditioned state beyond constructs, contrasting fleeting youth and inevitable old age with the timeless teachings that lead to liberation.
What is the laughter, what is the joy, when the world is |perpetually ablaze::burning with desire, aversion, and delusion [niccaṁ + pajjalite]|; Enveloped by |darkness::blindness, ignorance of how things have come to be [andhakāra]|, why do you not seek the |light::lamp, cultivate wisdom of how things have come to be, ultimate reality [padīpa]|?
