This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
“This body is fragile, mendicants, consciousness is liable to fade away, and all attachments are impermanent, suffering, and perishable.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
“Knowing that the body is fragile, that consciousness is faded, and seeing the danger in attachments, they go beyond birth and death. Having attained ultimate peace, evolved, they await their time.”
