Buddhist Holy Day Dhamma (05/12/2025)


Suppose there were vast mountains
 
of solid rock pressing against the sky
 
drawing in from all sides
 
and crushing the four quarters.
 
So too old age and death
 
advance upon all living creatures—
 
aristocrats, brahmins, peasants,
 
menials, corpse-workers, and scavengers.
 
They spare nothing.
 
They crush all beneath them.
 
There’s nowhere for elephants to take a stand,
 
nor chariots nor infantry.
 
They can’t be defeated
 
by diplomatic battles or by wealth.”
 
SN 3.25 The Simile of the Mountain (Bhikkhu Sujato)
