Meditation on Pain
Posted by Sylvia Xiaorui in Thoughts on February 6, 2010
Sleepless at 4am, helpless meditation. So I started to think about pain and suffering in literature.
Blank. Can not think of anything but pain. Pain has an element of blank… Emily Dickson… It cannot recollect…
But about suffering? Aren’t sympathy and humanity the teaching of the sages? Have they not experienced the physical pain? Or the enlightened have a higher tolerance of pain and suffering?
It is 4:08… Pain of a needle… Mom and button…
And soon we part with pain… sail again… Thomas Moore…
