Living with the Reality of Aging, Sickness and Death
2000-04-13 Living with the Reality of Aging, Sickness and Death 52:35
Ajahn Candasiri
Our society emphasizes fitness, strength, youth, and vitality, and yet the body runs its own course. We can do things to keep it strong and healthy, but these types of measures are limited. We are blessed to have the Buddhist teachings because they encourage us to come to terms with aging, sickness and death -- fundamental truths of our existence.
