One of the first teachings Buddha gave,
Dhojethabjai Mittharva,
Means every existing phenomena,
Whether it's human being,
Human life,
Or any life,
Or fame,
Name,
Money,
Wealth,
Or house,
Nation,
The earth,
Everything is transitory.
If anything in existence,
Because of certain cause and condition,
Then that reality is,
Must change.
It must go through change.
So that is the universal reality.
So if you have a deep insight,
Understanding of how everything is transitory nature,
Then when the transitory nature hits you with sickness,
Okay,
With separation,
With losing your wealth,
Fame,
Name,
You won't be too shocked,
Because you have a deep understanding of life is transitory.
You know?
So that helps us not to suffer.
One time I met a family in India,
Indian family.
The mother even never spoke since her son was died.
She was so overwhelmed losing her son.
So that is why.
Because of not understanding transitory nature of life,
You know?
So if you have a transitory nature of life,
Understanding,
Then from one side you won't be too shocked and bogged down with transitory nature will hit you in your life.
Right?
And the other side,
Because of everything is transitory,
That means you can prepare.
Everything exists because of cause and condition.
So you can prepare the better cause and condition,
Medical insurance,
Right?
And different makeups and surgeries,
Even you want to look good,
When you get older.
Or good friends,
You know?
Live partners,
Good life partners,
When you go through different situations in your life,
You can prepare.
You can prepare.
The transitory nature of life is such a universal value,
Universal wisdom.
