Buddha's Realization Of Impermanence: "The World Is On Fire"

This short talk contains the story of Prince Siddhartha, who eventually became a Buddha. It is one of the most profound stories in Human history, as this event led to the Enlightenment of The Buddha. It revolves around the conversation Siddhartha had with his charioteer when he, for the first time in his life, encountered suffering. He said to the charioteer, "The world is on fire!"

Thank you for this brief wisdom which comes to me at a most appropriate time. Namaste

I loved reading the book Siddartha as a teen , again as young mother and yet again as my impermanence is coming closer and realized. In each stage gleaning new wisdom . Today I’m thinking of the flow of the river and how everyone I’ve loved and who died are in that river ..in me and death doesn’t seem scary. Each day a lesson,each day a gift. Thank you for sharing your gift of storytelling s as bd teaching dear Saqib 💜🌊🌊💫🌊🙏
