Why do we wander in samsara?


"It's because of not understanding and not penetrating four things that we have wandered & transmigrated on such a long, long time, you & I. Which four?

It's because of not understanding and not penetrating noble virtue that we have wandered & transmigrated on such a long, long time, you & I.

It's because of not understanding and not penetrating noble concentration that we have wandered & transmigrated on such a long, long time, you & I.

It's because of not understanding and not penetrating noble discernment that we have wandered & transmigrated on such a long, long time, you & I.

It's because of not understanding and not penetrating noble release that we have wandered & transmigrated on such a long, long time, you & I.

But when noble virtue is understood & penetrated, when noble concentration... noble discernment... noble release is understood & penetrated, then craving for becoming is destroyed, the guide to becoming (craving & attachment) is ended, there is now no further becoming."

May all beings be happy and at peace.

Happy Tuesday!
