Lesson Three: What Buddhism Is

(bhcheah) #1

As a result of the constantly changing of
appearances things are liken to a mirage and a
dream. To identify this passing life for the
changeless life of truth is a delusion.


But ignorant people assume that this world is
something permanent and worth clinging to,
and act upon that assumption. As their acts are
based on error, they will only be led into harm
and suffering.


A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an
illusion, does not act as if it were real, and is
free from suffering.
