Selfless Love
Among the human psyche, love and charity are the most strange phenomenon.
Love (and the base of the charity which is also love ) is only the phenomenon
which occurs without a cause (which mean out of Karma ).
All the notorious troubles associated with love are in fact caused by the attachment,
its mean the possessive ego.
Love itself is the causeless phenomenon.
—– Only possible explanation to this phenomenon is, it must be a fundamental
character of the Dharma, of which we are the part of it.
One of the peculiarity of the love is its selflessness.
While observing a selfless love of the mothers, and the charitable people,
Buddha must have conceived the original concept which is, selflessness is
a part of the Dharma though, the selfish ego always throw a spanner
( I’m not implying there was the spanner and screw in Buddha’s time)
to this act of love.
Since the Dharma is fundamentally selfless, its mean the ego is a human
invention driven by one’s obsessive delusion.
Therefore, the man to believe and clings the existence of self is fundamentally wrong.
The belief of the perpetual soul, Atman is nothing but a greed to keep the attachment
even after the death.

What Buddha wanted, was to save the people suffering in misery and in poverty.
They need to have the food to eat, help to alleviate their misery, not just
inedible holy enlightenment.

Following Buddha’s teaching, such as King Asoka spread the Buddhism and
organised the charity to save the needy and sufferers.
——- Though the professional scholar of the Buddhist Temple, who
couldn’t understand the teaching of the Buddha went into a cul-de-sac of
the ” definition of what is the self ” —-and lost.
