vertical line Life is suffering was the name back when Buddha said it.

Life is separation in modern times now!

Suffering has eased up a bit since Buddha's time. We have a bit less of it now I'm sure.

vertical line Life is suffering is the reason for the person to search for an answer to escape suffering. Separation is just the form this life takes to show us this suffering. When separation is noticed, that is the beginning.

vertical line Atramentous pity
Sun and Moon indistinguishable
Visceral composure
Emptiness, Signlessness, Aimlessness
