yet they are empty from
their own side.
Like a dream—
exactly like that.
Total hallucination
Like lightning,
transitory in nature.
When there is lightning
a flash of light appears
and then it is gone.
Same:
When death comes
all appearance of this life
go,
like friends who were here
then pass away
and are gone.
Buddha said:
If we cling, if we grasp
there is suffering.
Things cannot last;
they are impermanent by
nature.
Holding the view of
permanence
only leads to suffering.
It creates the cause to
reincarnate in samsara
again.
Attachment ties us to
samsara … again.
From Lama Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche’s teaching on Impermanence, given at Losang Drakpa Buddhist Meditation Center, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on February 2 2002.
