To understand Dhukka I do not say 'I, you or they need experience Dhukka', but 'need to see and understand what is Dhukka'.
So simple, yet so hard.

Re: About unrooting evil
I do not imply this, nor do I claim it is wrongness to seek any refuge in Sangha. I do however question what you can understand of Dhukka looking only upon yourself in a mirror, never seen a birth, never seen death, never lost your dear ones, sickness, hell, .. Dhukka. How can oneself know colors if...

Re: About unrooting evil
I tried to delete the post, cause I see it may be unclear. I did not succeed. Point is Dhukka. As far as I can tell it is the first thing you should understand. But, if you put your fingers in your ear, you can't hear, or if you hold your hands in front of your eyes you do not see. So how can you th...

Re: blows my mind how many people do not care!
I also agree with Mawkish.
And, I do not understand why you want to suffer for others ignorance? You really can't help other beeings with their own stupidity....
Be an example to follow, and other will.
