One of my great grandfathers was a sea captain,
I never thought to ask whether that meant sail,
while there was still someone to answer. We understand
some stories in our bodies ~ birth, sickness, old age
& so on
, as the Buddha taught; what about seasickness?
& all that conditioning that was passed down,
so that we believe our way of perceiving (as if it's real!)
though we may be seeing quite differently to others.
How can we tell, even?
