as anything arises, ask to whom it arises
as anything arises, ask to whom it arises
being is what is or seems to be
nothing is the absolute truth of what is
the thought of being – “I am” – is the relative truth of what is
nothing is other than being,
so pay attention to what is or seems to be,
be astonished, and tell about it:
- nothing is unchanging
- nothing is independent
- nothing is perfect
the three marks of existence:
- anicca
- anatta
- dukkha
dukkha arises from ignorance
of things as they really are:
nothing doesn’t change, and
nothing depends on nothing
nothing is other than being
no one is
as anything arises, ask to whom it arises
