The Mystery of Life and the World

The Buddha left home and he became this kick ass ascetic who fasted so that, as it said, when he touched his belly button, he would touch his spinal cord. He was eating like a few grains of rice a day. The vastness of the universe, the existence of the sun, theexistence of consciousness, is a mystery.
