The way toward liberation is to train yourself to live in the present
without wanting to become anything. Give up becoming this or that,
live without cravings, and experience... continue...

THE FIRST LIVING TRUTH
Here is the suffering of birth and
living with sickness, illness, disease
living with deteriotation of old body
living with death
living with lacking of the necessities
living with greed, anger, and ignorance.

Thanks, Mr. Boopoom, for your wish. ChonTri has not Cell.Reconect'ed yet.

Reply from lehish
mr chontri. there were tears when saw you were back posting...there wasn't any thinking body young or old or whether could walk or not
are you suffering mr chontri?

Reply from chontri
ChonTri's still alive, what for the tears? (hehehe)
When seeing people suffer, he feels suffering.
When he suffers, he understands people's suffering.
It's just the first step, it seems that not many would like to take.
