| "I am now old," Buddha said to Ananda in Vesali, "worn out, full of years, one who has traversed life's path, being eighty years old. I have reached the end of my life. Just as an old cart can only be kept going by being held together with straps, so too, the Tathagata's body can only be kept going by bandaging it up."
(Muroji, Nara, Japan) |
