       Pingiya:  | 
| 
       
 
 I'm old & weak, my complexion dull. I've blurry eyes and trouble hearing, but may I not perish deluded, confused! Teach me the Dhamma so that I may know the abandoning here of birth & aging.  |

 [The Buddha:]  | 
          
      
       Thế Tôn:  | 
| 
       
 
 Seeing people suffering on account of their bodies — heedless people are oppressed on account of their bodies — then heedful, Pingiya, let go of the body for the sake of no further becoming.  |

 [Pingiya:]  | 
      
       Pingiya:  | 
| 
       
 
 In the four cardinal directions, the four intermediate, above & below — the ten directions — there is nothing in the world unseen, unheard, unsensed, uncognized by you. Teach me the Dhamma so that I may know the abandoning here of birth & aging.  |

 [The Buddha:]  | 
         
 
      
       Thế Tôn:  | 
| 
       
 
 Seeing people, victims of craving — aflame, overwhelmed with aging — then heedful, Pingiya, let go of craving for the sake of no further becoming.  |
