"Life is a Misery" -Buddha

[jolito098]

Buddha asked himself: "What is this life? Birth is misery. Old age is misery. Wife is a cause of sorrow. There is misery at the end of life. Therefore, be alert and awake."


These are popular lines from Gautama Buddha. I don't think these are correct. They don't even make sense for me. Do you agree?
This is my own opinion anyway. But i just can't get his teachings. He sees life as a misery. He views reincarnation as a purificatory process. I just can't understand his teachings.

Do you believe in Gautama Buddha? I don't think so.

about buddha, i don't undesrtand them too much, but in my opinion this is the high undesrtanding religion, and you cannot learn it only by some phrase, if you can reach the perfect state(but i more prefer it as balance state) if you are not bound anything and not tied up to anything, so you are the only and the only you there not bound to anything or tied up to anything. Killing for them is big sins even for small ant

The one that youre talking about is attaining Nirvana right?
Nirvana is the sinless calm state of mind, they say.
I agree that they are more sensitive than any other religion out there.

yup, maybe later i will live with this kind of lifestyle later lol, but this religion that sometimes makes me think about to be a higher being.. with their words that sometimes makes me think more about what i have done, sometimes it also makes me confuse with thier way to do something
