Description
The teaching of the Exalted One speaks of impermanence, which is the cause of our sufferings, because from the fact that we cannot keep anything, our attachments follow. The knowledge of the future is hard, any moment can be the last, it is very difficult not to sink into gloom.
The Perfect One has left us his philosophy as a compensation, which attunes us to the "enlightenment", so in the rest lies the power, we can escape the karma to the extent that we get out of the wheel in which we strive for the "enlightenment" (and hopefully reach, each person is different). Embracing impermanence in full awareness, enjoying every second of life as precious, living and dwelling in the here and now, this is how the teacher of all teachers lived life for us. Not wasting time with trivial distractions, simply following the pathless path, striving towards the doorless gate, entering the worldless world, then staying in Nirvana, understanding the intermediate world as reality.
How do you prepare for your death, can you use every moment? Everything existing is never "our", a permanent "I" does not exist, cannot exist. But if we change the definition of "I", we come to quite amazing results, which would disturb all those who have not studied the teachings of Buddha.
Everything is impermanent, comes and goes, rises and falls, like a stream or river. Everything is full of risks, life is made up of thousands of uncertainties, even at the moment of birth our death is already born, nothing is "certain", everything passes, those who go through time without expectations have almost reached their destination.
The Exalted One said that the body is made up of the four elements, but to free the mind from desire, to become free from wishing and wanting, that is difficult to achieve, because here the ego stands in the way quite violently. The perfect one could free himself from it, surrender to his true nature (Buddha-nature), isolate himself from suffering, escape from all burdens, simply by making the decision to no longer want to be bound by attachments.
But we humans have not learned anything, we do not want to learn anything; my money, my house, my children. Nothing is mine, everything is impermanent, we should simply make peace with our impermanence, just as the Exalted One has shown us in His perfection.
Whoever reads here is interested in Buddhism. It would all be worth a try, don't you think?
The way is the goal!
Perfect in true knowledge and sublime in conduct
- Buddha ( Siddhartha Gautama) - founder of the philosophy named after him Buddhism - 560 to 480 before the year zero
