“Maranenapi tam pahiyati
yam puriso mamidanti mannati.
Etampi viditva pandito,
na mamattaya
nametha mamako.
“At death, a person abandons
what one construes as mine.
Realizing this, the wise
shouldn’t incline
to be devoted to mine.”
~ The Buddha from the Sutta Nipata, 4:812
(translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu)
