Happiness and Suffering

[Guest guest]

Jaya Sri Radhey! Namaste all.

 

Here is a good quote from the book, 'Lady of the Lotus':

 

"O Monks, all existence is pain," the Buddha said. "Birth is painful.

Old age is painful.

Death is the supreme pain because it is the prelude to further

birth. The frustration of desire achieved is painful, as is

separation from that which is desired.

The origin of universal suffering is the craving of man for

possessions, for the fulfullment of his passions.

The lusts of man are like sea water. They mock man's thirst instead

of quenching it."

 

Jaya Sri Radhey!
