Moth flying into fire

in Buddhismlast month

Simile about the moth flying into fire. Something to think about.

The moths, life after life, flies into the fire because the moth perceives the heat as something comforting.

It is scary how we are motivated by pleasure to lead to rebirth in samsara.

We have experienced pleasure in particular situations and we longed for it. This longing is what causes perpetual suffering into rebirth in the cyclic existence.

We weren’t very smart when it comes to spiritual matter! 🙀🥲
