'A Buddhist Perspective of Living and Dying -
with Venerable Miao You of Fo Guang Shan Australia
|

Buddhism views living and dying with equal merits.
When there is birth, there will be death.
Death is part of life and there is no such thing as living forever.
Humans, plants and inanimate objects also go through the same process of life.
This is the Universal truth that all things are constantly changing - this is the law of impermanence.
Come and understand some principle truths which are the truths in our lives. It is our ignorance that causes us to suffer. |
