Samvega
I will tell of how I experienced samvega. Seeing people floundering like fish in small puddles, competing with one another–as I saw this, fear came into me. The world was entirely without substance. All the directions were knocked out of line. Wanting a haven for myself, I saw nothing that wasn’t laid claim to. Seeing nothing in the end but competition, I felt discontent. – The Buddha, “The Dismay of Motherhood” |
May you be free from suffering and the causes of suffering! All my best,
