...People come...and people go. And the holding on part is what makes us suffer.

[speedkleaver]

to embrace death and rebirth in each and every moment is a beautiful sentiment indeed. I found the story of the monks to be profoundly applicable to the situations i habitually find myself in. i had not heard it before watching this video so id like to thank you for sharing such a succinct and eloquent parable, it has shed new light on some difficult experiences i have had recently.

and also, what a question to end the description with! this will have me pondering for quite some time...

Better keep the animal partner, humans are awful creatures.

Great video, it's nice to hear a monk who is also human. I pray you will find a human partner.

@MrWrongevolution how did anyone knew about heaven and hell before they died ?

[MrWrongevolution]

Why did Buddha know "karma" while he was still a live? Nonsense or Buddha was liar.

[MrWrongevolution]

"Karma" is wrong perception of buddhists. No niryana is no karma. Buddhist logicals are confuse. Blap, blap, blap, non sense, not realitic, against each other. Let niryana, karma go.
