Life is Limitation
LIFE IS LIMITATION
Dear Friends
In the context of receiving and relating to a particular Spiritual – Psychological (Psycho-Spiritual) Teaching, we may find that we connect with the concepts used or not!
This is very much the case with the use of the Pali Language word ‘Dukkha’ in the Buddha’s Teachings.
The Buddha has stated; “Two things only do I teach; the Truth of Dukkha and the Truth of its end to reach!”
However, when Dukkha is translated as ‘Suffering’, we may not quite connect with this. Other words are often used such as; Stress, Distress, Dissatisfaction, Disappointment, Despair and Pain.
All these words may be put into the Buddha’s Teaching of the ‘Four Truths of Dukkha’:
The Truth of the Fact of Dukkha; The Truth of the Cause of Dukkha; The Truth of the End of Dukkha; The Truth of the Practice Path to the end of Dukkha’.
Depending on where we are in our life and what is happening for us as to which word or concept we might relate or connect with.
My rendering below uses an aspect of the encompassing word Dukkha – ‘Limitation’.
See how this word fits for you and certainly give contemplation to what other word might suit you at this time!

LIFE IS LIMITATION
Life is a lesson in learning
To live with the reality of Limitation.
For life is both limited and life is beset with limitation.
There can be an appreciating and Understanding of the Cause
Of this Limitation through seeing the conditionality
And interrelated causality of all that is life.
Thus, the mind may find its full and Final Freedom;
In realising Liberation from the misperception of
Identification with things; that otherwise causes and creates the I-making, my-making and me-making!
The Way – to the Full and Final Freedom of Liberation from Limitation;
Is the Practice Path of living a life dedicated and devoted to;
Mindful Peace and Purity; Mindful Calm and Clarity together with Mindful Wisdom and Worth!
