A tourist girl is traveling about Egypt...PBS...visited a monk's cave who proposed that pain and suffering purify...first monastery established anywhere is where he was....oh...she's down in a tomb...the paintings behind Plexiglas it looks like....these are the very spare "stick" drawings...
We have a tremendously sensitive nervous system...banged my hand with a pot at work and thought on this...it seems to me it is all to protect us from injuring our self...pain tells one to avoid what's hurting!...but Nature has a way of doubling up things...that has a name in engineering...where one thing does the service of two or more things...with our mouths we eat, breath, speak...
Charleton Heston died today...
She visited the memorial graves at Al Alamain...brb...El Alamein....
and was taken with how young the soldiers were...
Globe Trekker is the shows name...
that's a great thing to do when you are young...trek....
now...what did the Buddah say about suffering....brb....
quote
King Śuddhodana, wishing for Siddhartha to be a great king, shielded his son from religious teachings or knowledge of human suffering.

Hiouen Thsang quotes the Nigrodhamiga Jātaka (J.i.145ff) to account for the origin of the Migadāya. According to him the Deer Park was the forest gifted by the king of Benares of the Jātaka, where the deer might wander unmolested. The Migadāya was so-called because deer were allowed to roam about there unmolested.
Sarnath, from Saranganath, means "Lord of the Deer" and relates to another old Buddhist story in which the Bodhisattva is a deer and offers his life to a king instead of the doe the latter is planning to kill. The king is so moved that he creates the park as a sanctuary for deer. The park is still there today.
