Friends:
Re-birth Reproduces Suffering ever Again!
Birth in the world is an indispensable necessity
for all kinds of suffering.
If no being were ever again reborn in hell, the unbearable scorching pain,
or other states of agony, grief or
misery, then pain would have no
chance!
Therefore the Sage explained that birth is pain! Multifarious are the many
sorts of pain, that creatures have to endure both the physical
and mental...
Since birth does this pain procure, birth is pain: This consequence is sure!
While the hungry ghosts know pain in
great variety through hunger,
thirst,
& hopeless fear, no other, unless actually
reborn there, knows this misery!
So this repeated and blind birth, the Sage indeed declared only pain to be.
In empty space, where demons dwell
in searing cold, black and thick gloom,
their depressed despair requires rebirth there as well, just as an evil spell!
The horrible torment any being feels
on coming out the womb is also pain...
Can there be a painful state anytime
or anywhere if birth has not
preceded?
Indeed this Sage so great, when he explained pain, took care first to point
out rebirth as pain, the condition always
& unambiguously needed to
suffer!
