一部经，有比丘问是否有任何恒常之物，佛陀举起一团牛粪说明即便最微小的自体存续也不稳固，并进而讲述自己前生身为大善见王时的极致荣华最终也归于消亡。

A discourse in which the Buddha, asked whether anything is permanent, holds up a pellet of cow dung to show that even the smallest span of personal existence is unstable, then recounts how his own past splendor as King Mahā-Sudassana ultimately perished.
