BymsanjayI’ve been particularly lucky to have had the opportunity to spend time with my grandparents right up to their last days.

deadly ideas on why this life matters
BymsanjayWe must note that there is a thin but important line between having apathy and indifference feeling ‘we have to die anyway’, and understanding death and knowing about the real value for life. This post hopes to be in the latter realm! The whole root cause of all the misery we associate with death is…

From an email:
Dhanuggaha Sutta ( the archer ):
Staying at Savatthi. “Monks, suppose there were four strong archers — well-trained, practiced, & drilled — standing in the four directions, and a man were to come along saying, ‘I will catch & bring down the arrows let fly by these four strong archers — well-trained, practiced, & drilled — before they have fallen to the ground.’ What do you think? Would that be enough to call him a swift man, endowed with the foremost speed?”
“Even if he were to catch & bring down the arrows let fly by one archer — well-trained, practiced, & drilled — before they fell to the ground, lord, that would be enough to call him a swift man, endowed with the foremost speed, to say nothing of four such archers.”
“Faster than the speed of that man, monks, is the speed of the sun & moon. Faster than the speed of that man, faster than the speed of the sun & moon, is the speed of the devas who rush ahead of the sun & moon. Faster than the speed of that man, faster than the speed of the sun & moon, faster than the speed of the devas who rush ahead of the sun & moon, the force of one’s life span comes to an end. Thus you should train yourselves: ‘We will live heedfully.’ That’s how you should train yourselves.”
the concept and picturisation is too good. hats off to the brain behind it. thanks for the clip. i feel the way we look at the world can determine how long we will be in it. it’s so important to accept this time, this very minute, as something of tremendous value that will very soon be gone forever. there are many ways to ensure that we make the best of our time here on earth.
