And for what reason?\nBecause of their excessive endeavours to perpetuate life.\n\nBut I have heard that he who is skilful in managing the life\nentrusted to him for a time travels on the land without having to shun\nrhinoceros or tiger, and enters a host without having to avoid buff\ncoat or sharp weapon. The rhinoceros finds no place in him into which\nto thrust its horn, nor the tiger a place in which to fix its claws,\nnor the weapon a place to admit its point. And for what reason?\nBecause there is in him no place of death.",
