The world is full of suffering. Birth is suffering, decre- pitude is suffering, sickness and death are sufferings. To face a man of hatred is suffering, to be separated from a beloved one is suffering, to be vainly struggling to satisfy one's needs is suffering.

One should cultivate an unbounded mind, above and below and across, without obstruction, without enmity, without rivalry.
