Introduction

Even if someone harms us—be it a thief, an enemy, or anyone who commits evil—that harm is far less destructive than the damage caused by our own corrupted mind steeped in the ten unwholesome deeds. Human life in this world is extremely short. Life exists only for a brief moment in time, and within this short span, human beings are constantly subjected to suffering. Life is full of sorrow and hardship. That is why, even for a brief moment, one should live with the Dhamma and cultivate wholesome qualities. This eternal teaching must be understood with wisdom.

No one who is born can escape death. One day or another, death is certain.
