Friends:
Kinship with All:
Be Gentle & Kind towards your
Family!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
It is not easy, Bhikkhus &
Friends, to find even a single
living being
that during this immensely long
round of rebirths has not at
least 10
times been your mother, father,
brother, sister, son, or
daughter!!!
How is this possible?
Inconceivable, Bhikkhus and
Friends, is the
beginning of this Samsara; not
to be discovered is a first
beginning
of individual beings who,
blinded by ignorance and all
obsessed by
craving, are hurrying and
hastening through this round of
rebirths!

Sayings of the

SN 15:14-19
On Samsara: The Dreadful
Round:
Long is Samsara for the
simpleton not knowing the
Dhamma.
Long is the night for one who
keeps Awake.
Long is the mile for one who is
tired.
Long is the rebirth round for
one unaware of the true Dhamma.
