Ep. 130 – Essential Buddhism Part 5: The Truth of Suffering
Insight Hour with Joseph Goldstein
The Body Is Going to Die
There is no way that having taken birth, we are not going to die, we are going to end as corpses. This is the human condition and the human plane is one of the happy places of existence. There are planes of existence which are filled with even much greater suffering - these arise from our own unwholesome deeds. When we say a person is burning up with anger, that is literally happening,. We are burning every time we get angry. A lot of pain, a lot of suffering. Endlessly tossed about in this whirlwind. It's a spot of calm in a great whirlwind of samsara forces of greed and of hatred and delusion.
