                                            🌊 Assu Sutta & The Endless Cycle of Samsara 🌊
In the Assu Sutta, the Buddha delivers a powerful reflection on the depth of our suffering through countless lifetimes:
"Monks, the tears you have shed while wandering on through this long journey—crying and weeping because of being united with the unpleasant and separated from the pleasant—are greater than the water in the four great oceans."
This profound teaching invites us to see how, in samsara—the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth—we have experienced immeasurable sorrow, loss, and longing. 
The tears we’ve shed in our journey through samsara are beyond measure, a reminder of the repetitive nature of suffering that touches every being.
But the Buddha shares this not to discourage us, but to awaken a sense of urgency and purpose. Understanding the vastness of our suffering inspires us to seek a way out, to walk the path of wisdom and compassion that leads to liberation.

May this reflection motivate us to turn towards the Dhamma, with the aspiration to end the cycle of suffering for ourselves and all beings.
