Many of us believe that our entire existence is only a life span beginning the moment we are born or conceived and ending the moment we die. We believe that we are born from nothing and when we die we become nothing. “The Buddha has a very different understanding of our existence. We can enjoy life and appreciate it in a new way.”This body is not me. The pebble is resting at the bottom of the river and the pebble does not have to do anything.
