Sewaktu kuliah, dosen kewarganegaraan/pancasila pernah tanya ke kelas saya, apa arti hidup menurut agama masing-masing... Saya lupa jawaban agama lain, tapi sewaktu ditanya yang agama Buddha, saya ditunjuk dan ditanya, saya jawab hidup adalah penderitaan. Kalau sis Dhammadinna apakah arti hidup menurut agama Buddha?
"The Buddha acknowledged that there is both happiness and sorrow in the world, but he taught that even when we have some kind of happiness, it is not permanent; it is subject to change. And due to this unstable, impermanent nature of all things, everything we experience is said to have the quality of duhkha or unsatisfactoriness. Therefore unless we can gain insight into that truth, and understand what is really able to provide lasting happiness, and what is unable to provide happiness, the experience of dissatisfaction will persist."
