People offering almsfood
Some devoted lay followers drove all the way from the D.C. area to offer alms food to monastics. It was a moving experience for everyone involved. | |
"Now this, monks, is the noble truth of suffering: birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; seperation from what is pleasing is suffering… in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering.”
