The 3 Whys of Life

The 3 Whys of Life


1) Why do I suffer?

2) Why is there birth?

(Hint : and it's not because a Supreme Creator/Being 'create' us out of his baking factory. The answer is very simple. Very basic.)


3) Why do I die? (or, Why is there death?)


If you can answer the above totally, fully, honestly and truthfully, you'll have all the answers of Life, to Life.

P.S. ... And a bonus question : "How do I stop all 3?"


Happy investigating !

Enjoy !

"With steadfast mind, applying themselves thoroughly in the Dispensation of Gotama,

Exempt from passion, they have attained to that which should be attained.

And plunging into the Deathless, they enjoy the peace obtained without price.

Truly, in the Sangha is this precious jewel,

By this Truth, may there be Happiness!"

- The Buddha, The Ratana Sutta.
