THE BUDDHA ABOUT CONCEPTION, BIRTH, OLD AGE AND DEATH


"When monks, a father and a mother come together, and it is the mother's period and the being to be born is also present, then by the combined agency of these three, a seed of life is planed.

"And no for nine or ten(lunar) months the mother bears in her womb this seed of life, with much anxiety, a weighty burden, and when the nine or ten mounths have run their course, the mother brings forths that weighty burden with mauch anxiety, and when that is born she now nourishes whith her own blood. 'Blood' , monks, is what mother's milk is called in the Order of the Exalted One.

"And now this boy, with the growth and development of his faculties, takes part in all sorts of games and sports appropritate to younth, such as plouhing with toy ploughs, plaxing top-cat, turning somersaults. Playing with toy windmills, toy measures, toy carts, and toy bows and arrows.

"And this boy, whis the continued growth and develpments to desire, namenly: Forms condizable through the oran of sigh, Sounds cognizable through the organ of hearing. Odours cognizable through the organ of smell,Flavours cognizable through the organ of taste, and Tangibles, conizable through the organ of touch- all longed for, loved, delightfull, pleasing, bound up with desire, provocative of passion.

"And now, through the eye sighting form, through the ear hearing sound, through the nose smelling odours, through the tongue tasting flavours, through the body encountering tangibles and through the mind discerning ideas, he is enamoured of pleasing sounds, pleasing odours, pleasing tangibles,pleasing ideas, and shuns unpleasings forms, unpleasing sounds, unpleasings odours, unpleasing flavours, unpleasing tangibles, unpleasing ideas; being void of Recollectedness as respects corporeality,bounded and limid of mind, knowing naught, in accord with truth, of the Deliverance of the mind, the Deliverance by wisdom, whereby all that is evil and indalutary totally ceaces to be. "So, with such likes and dislikes, when he experiences any kind of sensation, pleasant or unpleasant, or neither pleasant nor unpleasant, he greets, welcomes and clings to that senation, and in him, thus greeting welcoming and clining to that senation, there aries delight; which delight in sensation is Grasping. Then, in dependence upon Becoming, there arises Becoming, in dependence upon Birth it is that Growth and Despair come to be. Thus comes about the arising of the entire Sum of Suffering," End quote.
I ask, who with a ound mind and a common sense would not welcome any doctrine, pointing a way out of this ocean of suffering to a safe island called NIRVÂNA? AUM.


"How can I become immortal?"
"Detach yourself from everything that is mortal."
