What is it you wanted to know?
“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

There are a lot of parallels listed here:

Some have translations:

And there may be more in other places.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your help. All the listed Agama parallels are not real parallels.

Hi, starter.

The Chinese parallel is MA 204.

All existing parallels were studied by ven. Anālayo:
