Ha ha ha ha ha. Jack was walking down a street. It was a day like any other. As ever, his mind was a flurry of thoughts, worries, and anxieties. Stimulated by coffee and the bright lights of his phone,

in a bid to relieve his stress, he put his phone in his pocket and tried to notice the details

he would usually ignore. As he walked past the pharmacy, he saw a sick man coughing and spluttering.

He was throwing medication back to stop his disease from decaying his body. Jack kept walking and came across an old

woman waiting at a bus stop. She was fragile, crooked and anxious. Clearly age had taken much from her.

Crossing the road away from the bus stop, he waited for the traffic to pass. Driving slowly

past him was a hearse, a coffin on full display, surrounded by flowers,

preceded by a stream of weeping mourners. Jack fell to his knees, overwhelmed with despair.

We all get sick, we all age, and we all die, we cannot escape this fate. His head against the

pavement, he didn't move for almost an hour. When he got up, he was approached by a homeless man to whom he said,

Sorry, I don't have any change.

The man replied, it is you who needs a little change, young monk.

I know why you fall to your knees in despair.

The inescapable suffering of this life weighs on us all.

Let me tell you of someone who was once like you, who tried to remove

suffering from our minds. Let me tell you the story of Sadata Gotama, the Buddha.
