We do not talk about belief. We face the realities of life. No matter who you are or what you believe, you are subject to old age, sickness, and death. The nature of this world is that nothing is permanent. As such you cannot have permanent happiness. In this respect, this life is ultimately, suffering. It is up to you to think otherwise. It's not going to change this universal truth. Realizing this ultimate and universal truth, we come to terms with life. Life comes as a package, happiness as well as sorrow. When there is happiness, we don't go over board. When there is sorrow we don't over react. We are at peace with ourselves and the world.
This blog is dedicated to all who wish to participate in the discussion on life's worldly vicissitudes. Most of the comments are related to questions posted to me through one of the Buddhist web sites over the past years. Practical comments on interesting questions in the Buddhist perspective.
