I thought it was a love story, but later discovered that it talked about social issues, and finally discovered that it returned to the essence of human existence.
Ascetics bathed in the filthy Ganges and prayed sincerely, and lowly caste people burned their bodies at the "sacred altar" by the Ganges. The death of life and the loss of life alternate in divine compassion.
"The skull must be knocked open so that the soul can ascend to heaven."
In this life, human beings always have to trust and seek in the dark, relying on external objects that they can obtain salvation through them. Hope rises, hope shatters, rise again, when you are infinitely close, shatter again, until...you realize in the silence that all foreign objects cannot be trusted. For example, the forty-two chapter says: "Man is in love and lust, comes and walks alone, lives and dies alone, suffering and happiness, without generations."
Sometimes I am curious. The Buddha started preaching in India. Did the Buddha say that the three generations of cause and effect were to explain joy, pain, and impermanence, or to light a lamp that would never reach the people who perished in the sea of suffering in a remote place?
This is perhaps the greatest compassion the Buddha can do.
