(Group Learning Program) Chapter 19 - The Difficult Human Existence: Sickness, Aging, and Death
Three aspects of life that are the most difficult for us to deal with in our human existence are sickness, aging, and death.
The young Prince Siddhartha Gotama, who eventually became Gotama Buddha, was sheltered during his first 29 years of existence as his father, the King, was keeping him in the palace attempting to lure him into the ways of a monarch through keeping him attached to the luxurious life of being a Prince and eventually a King.
At the age of 29, Siddhartha Gotama exits the palace for the first time without his father’s knowledge to observe life outside the palace. He had his attendant with him who helped explain Siddhartha Gotama’s four (4) observations of sickness, aging, death, and an Ascetic or monk - a spiritual seeker.
These observations eventually led Siddhartha Gotama to the understanding that because of the impermanent nature of things and the mind’s craving for permanence, we cause our own discontent mind.
In this Podcast, David will share the life story of Gotama Buddha, help you understand The Four (4) Observations, and discuss sickness, aging, and death as it relates to the human condition.
