The Three Universal Truths

1.NOTHING IS LOST IN THE UNIVERSE.

In this 'hoarding' 'grasping' race wish we could understand this inter-dependence of everything.. and how our thoughts and actions are so intrinsically enmeshed with everything around.. whether destruction, cheating, or creating, mending.. whatever we do to others, it affects us equally..

2.EVERYTHING CHANGES.

Change is the only 'constant' in our lives. So why cling.. why cry.. nothing remains the same.. neither sorrows nor joy.. neither rich nor poor.. everything lives and dies.. and lives and dies.. until we 'wake up' from this illusive reality of birth and death..

3.LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.

The dreaded karmic cycle.. which each knows in vain.. and continue to get so tangled in conditioned lifestyles.. bickering.. boundaries.. attachments.. suffering, judging, sentencing ourselves..

According to Buddha, these are the 3 Universal Truths. 2500 years ago, one man attained enlightenment and tried to show others the way.. for each has to walk his own path.. his 'mind' determining the way.. 2500 years, and still we are clueless as to what we are doing here.. where we are going.. not even trying to even minutely change the rules of our 'conditioning'.. which just enhances the confusion more and more..

if 'attachment' is the creator of all our problems.. our societal precepts themselves need to crumble first..
