法句經 46

Having known this froth-like bodyand awakening to its mirage nature,smashing Mara’s flowered shaftsunseen beyond the Death-king go.

(Explanation: This body of ours is like froth, bubbles, or foam. It disintegrates quickly. The nature of life is like a mirage, an illusion. Therefore, one must give up these unrealities. To achieve that one must destroy Mara’s flower-arrows by which he tempts men and women. It is necessary that the truth-seeker should go beyond Mara’s region, to areas unseen by him. Mara knows only the realm of death. The truth seeker goes beyond that region to the ‘deathless’ (Nibbana) - a domain Mara has never seen.)

Dhammapada 46

知道此身如水泡般無常,以及
覺知它如海市蜃樓般毫無實質,他將切斷魔王之花,脫離死亡之王的視線。

(註:魔王之花是指三種輪轉,即煩惱輪轉、業輪轉與果報輪轉。)
