When we're born we're already dead, you know.
Aging and death are the same thing. It's like a tree.
Part of it's the base; part of it's the end at the tip.
When there's a base, there's an end.
When there's an end, there's a base.
When there's no base, there's no end.
When there's an end, there has to be a base.
An end without a base: That can't be. That's how it is.
So it's kind of amusing. When a person dies, we're sad and upset.
We sit and cry, grieving — all kinds of things.
That's delusion. It's delusion, you know.
When a person dies we sob and cry.
That's the way it's been since who knows when.
We don't stop to examine this carefully.
Actually — and excuse me for saying this —
it appears to me that if you're going to cry when a person dies,
it'd be better to cry when a person is born.
But we have it all backwards.
When a child is born, people beam and laugh from happiness.
But actually birth is death. Death is birth.
The beginning is the end; the end is the beginning.
