From the Holy Text of Tibetan Buddhism:Songs 8-9, 11-13

"Like bubbles is This life, transient and fleeting in it no assurance can be found." A laymans life is like a thief who sneaks into an empty house. Know you not the folly of it? Youth is like a summer flower suddenly it fades away. Old age is like a fire spreading through the fields suddenly tis at your heels. The Buddha once said, "Birth and death are like sunrise and sunset now come, now go." Sickness is like a little bird wounded by a sling. Know you not, health and strength will in time desert you? Death is like an oil-dry lamp (After its last flicker). Nothing, I assure you, in this world is permanent. Evil karma is like a waterfall, which I have never seen flow upward. A sinful man is like a poisonous tree if you lean on it, you will injured be. Transgressors are like frost-bitten peas like spoiled fat, they ruin everything. Dharma-practitioners are like peasants in the field with caution and vigor they will be successful. The Guru is like medicine and nectar relying on him, one will win success. Discipline is like a watchmans tower observing it, one will attain accomplishment. The Law of Karma is like Samsaras (cycle of reincarnation) wheel whoever breaks it will suffer a great loss. Samsara (cycle of reincarnation) is like a poisonous thorn In the flesh if not pulled out, The poison will increase and spread. The coming of death is like the shadow of a tree at sunset it runs fast and none can halt it. When that time comes, what else can help but Holy Dharma? Though Dharma is the fount of victory, those who aspire to it are rare. Scores of men are tangled in the miseries of Samsara (cycle of reincarnation); Into this misfortune born, they strive by plunder and theft for gain. He who talks on Dharma with elation is inspired, But when a task is set him, he is wrecked and lost. Dear patrons, do not talk too much, but practice the Holy Dharma.
