There are 4 things no God, monk, priest, man, woman, or anyone in the world guarantees you.

There are 4 things no God, monk, priest, man, woman, or anyone in the world guarantees you.

1. No-one can guarantee that someone liable to old age will not grow old.

2. No-one can guarantee that someone liable to sickness will not get sick.

3. No-one can guarantee that someone liable to death will not die.

4. No-one can guarantee that the bad deeds done in past lives—corrupting, leading to future lives, hurtful, resulting in suffering and future rebirth, old age, and death—will not produce their result.
