Text of excerpt, if available

The first mark of existence, the universal truth of impermanence and change, is symbolized by the Buddha’s encounter with the old man. For the elderly who are among the most vulnerable to this disease, the fragility of life, the proximity of death, and the constancy of inconstancy is especially poignant and real.
