[Mogharaja:]

Twice now, O Sakyan,
	I've asked you,
but you, One with vision,
	haven't answered me.
When asked the third time
the celestial seer answers:
	so I have heard.
This world, the next world,
the Brahma world with its devas:
	I don't know how they're viewed
	by the glorious Gotama.
So to the one who has seen
to the far extreme,
I've come with a question:
	How does one view the world
	so as not to be seen
		by Death's king?

[The Buddha:]

View the world, Mogharaja,
		as empty — 
always mindful
to have removed any view
		about self.

This way one is above & beyond death.
	This is how one views the world
	so as not to be seen
		by Death's king.
