Exit life, enter death;
The followers of life number three in ten
The followers of death number three in ten
Men whose life stirs towards Earthly end number three in ten

Why is this so?
For they live only where life is thick

Perhaps you have heard of the ones who excel at holding onto life
Travelling the road they meet no buffalo or tiger
Engaging a host they are unadorned by arms or armour
The buffalo has no place to impale its horn
The tiger has no place to employ its talons
The soldier has no place to bury their blades

Why is this so?
For his death is not on Earth

出生入死
生之徒十有三
死之徒十有三
人之生動之死地亦十有三

夫何故
以其生生之厚

蓋聞善攝生者
陸行不遇兕虎
入軍不被甲兵
兕無所投其角
虎無所措其爪
兵無所容其刃

夫何故
以其無死地
