Flowers are seasonal, but mountains are abiding. Counseling is limited, but discipline is sustainable. Feelings are momentary, but relationships are for life. Pain is transient, but joy is perpetual. Misunderstanding is temporary, but Truth is eternal. Fame and gain are short-lived, but life is everlasting. Birth and death are ephemeral, but vows are abiding. Delusion is swift, but Buddha-nature is imperishable. Causes and conditions are changing, but enlightenment is forever.
