རྒྱལ་བའི་བཀའ། The Word of the Buddha

དུས་ཀྱི་ཉེན་ཏེ་རྒྱལ་པོ་འགྲོ་གྱུར་ན། །

ལོངས་སྤྱོད་མཛའ་དང་བཤེས་རྣམས་རྗེས་མི་འབྲང་། །
སྐྱེས་བུ་དག་ནི་གང་ནས་གར་འགྲོ་ཡང༌། །

ལས་ནི་གྲིབ་མ་བཞིན་དུ་རྗེས་སུ་འབྲང༌། །

When his time has come, even a king has to die,
And neither his friends nor his wealth can follow him.
So for us—wherever we stay, wherever we go—
Karma follows us like a shadow.

Buddha Shakyamuni, Sutra of Instructions to the King
