“Life is like this mountain: one side is bright, the other is dark, yet they always exist together.

Clouds drift in and drift away. Momentary light, momentary darkness. Some days are radiant, others are gray.

To study the Truth (Dharma) is to understand nature as it is. Everything arises, remains, and passes away— cycling this way for billions of years.

And what about us? With less than a hundred years to live, why resist the way things naturally are?

Accept it. And use the time you have to do what you truly believe is good.”
