Ajahn Chah
Having been born we will experience ageing, illness, death and separation. These things are right here. We don’t need to look up at the sky or down at the earth. The Dhamma that we need to see and to know can be seen right here within us, every moment of every day.
When there is a birth, we are filled with joy. When there is a death, we grieve. That’s how we spend our lives. These are the things we need to know about, but we still have not really looked into them and seen the truth.
We are stuck deep in this ignorance. We ask, ‘When will we see the Dhamma?’ - but it is right here to be seen in the present.
