Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings asking “What does life look like?”
慧淨法師之「人生之實相」
Old age, illness, and death are sufferings of the body.
Parting from those we love and similar experiences are sufferings of the mind. The Five Aggregates are the root of suffering.
The suffering of separation from loved ones is painful, but not the greatest suffering. When death comes, one must even part from one’s own body—this is the greatest suffering.
The root of suffering is death.
Death is the fundamental source of anguish and unease.
老病死是身苦。愛別離等是心苦。五蘊是苦根。
愛別離苦，不甚苦；死時連自己的身體也要離開，才是最大之苦。
苦的根源是死。死，是苦惱不安的根源。
Namo Amituofo!
