“This Dhamma talk is for stimulating the intelligence of people who are ill. Please read carefully and consider thoroughly. Illness ought to be seen as natural occurrences for all physical sankhāras (bodies), whether humans or other animals, because sankhāras undergo change. Whenever there is change, it can be up or down. Upward change feels comfortable and healthy. Downward change creates illness. When physical sankhāras get successively older, most of the change is painful and ill. This fact needs to be seen as it truly is: all sankhāras are just like this...” -- ❖ -- Translated from the Thai by Santikaro Upasaka.
