Three Questions




When I was still a bodhisattva, it occurred to me to ask: "What is the delight of life? What is the tragedy of life? What is the emancipation of life?" Then monks, it occurred to me to answer: "The happiness and joy that arise conditioned by life, that is the delight of life; that life is impermanent, difficult, and changing, that is the tragedy of life; the removal and abandonment of grasping for life, that is the emancipation of life."

---The Buddha---
