Jarāmaraa is Sanskrit and Pāli for "old age" ()〔See Rhys Davids & Stede (1921-25), p. 279, entry for "Jarā," retrieved 19 Nov 2008 from "U. Chicago" at http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.1:1:1721.pali. More than simply "old age," the PED provides the additional meanings of "decay, decrepitude"; and, these additional translations are reflected in the Buddha's reputed words in the ''Jarā Sutta'' (below). However, for the sake of semantic conciseness, the compound term ''jarā-maraa'' is here represented as "old age and death."〕 and "death" ().〔See Rhys Davids & Stede (1921-25), p. 524, entry for "Maraa," retrieved 19 Nov 2008 from "U. Chicago" at http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.2:1:3896.pali. The PED further contextualizes ''maraa'' with "death, as ending this (visible) existence, physical death...." That is, in Buddhism, ''maraa'' does ''not'' refer to death of the conscious process or the end of the associated suffering.〕 In Buddhism, jaramarana is associated with the inevitable end-of-life suffering of all beings prior to their rebirth within ''saṃsāra'' (cyclic existence). ''Jarā'' and ''maraṇa'' are identified with the Buddhist teachings in the following contexts: * As aspects of ''dukkha'' (suffering, anxiety, unsatisfactoriness) within the teachings on the Four Noble Truths * As the twelfth link within the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination ==Within the Four Noble Truths== Within the teachings on the Four Noble Truths, ''jarā'' and ''maraṇa'' are identified as aspects of ''dukkha'' (suffering, anxiety, unsatisfactoriness). For example, ''The Discourse That Sets Turning the Wheel of Truth'' states: : "Now this, monks, is the noble truth of dukkha: birth (''jāti'') is dukkha, aging (''jarā'') is dukkha, death (''maraṇa'') is dukkha; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, & despair are dukkha; association with the unbeloved is dukkha; separation from the loved is dukkha; not getting what is wanted is dukkha. In short, the five clinging-aggregates are dukkha. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jarāmaraṇa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
