Fastened Shut
“By what is the world fastened shut?
On what is the world grounded?
By what is the world ensnared?
By what is it surrounded?”
“The world is fastened shut by mortality.
The world is grounded on suffering.
Craving has ensnared the world.
It’s surrounded by old age.”

Verrouillé
« Par quoi le monde est-il verrouillé ?
Sur quoi le monde repose-t-il ?
Par quoi le monde est-il pris au piège ?
Par quoi est-il encerclé ? »
« Le monde est verrouillé par la mortalité.
Le monde repose sur la souffrance.
L’avidité a pris le monde au piège.
Il est encerclé par la vieillesse. »
