一半的生命花在睡眠

彿陀說：
一半的生命花在睡眠，
十年花在童年，
二十年花在老年，
剩餘的二十年大多耗在悲傷、
抱怨痛苦與易怒中，
以及數百種生理疾病的摧毀。
接受老年及死亡為生命的一部份，
是令此生具有意義的關鍵。

The Buddha said:

Half of our life is spent on sleeping, ten years on our youth, 20 years on old age and the remaining 20 years are wasted on sorrow, grumbling about pains, anger and hundreds of physical illnesses. 

Acknowledge old age and death as part of life as this is the key to make our life meaningful.
