Sorrow and Lamentation Come from Those Who Are Dear: Seeing the Root of Pain

There’s a story in the Canon of a man who’s lost his son, his very young son. He goes every day to the cemetery and cries out, “Where are you my only son? Where are you my only son?” One of those days, on the way back to home, he stops off to pay respect to the Buddha. The Buddha asks him, “Where have you been? You look like someone out of your mind.” The man explains, and the Buddha says, “Yes, sorrow and lamentation come from those who are dear, from those we love.” ☸️ True revolution doesn’t begin in society — it begins in the mind. The Buddha did not wage war against social systems or external structures. Instead, he pointed directly at the roots of suffering: greed, aversion, and delusion. That inner work is the revolution that still matters today. 💡 “There’s nothing more beneficial than straightening out your own mind.” This teaching is a reminder of your own power — the power to change, to cultivate clarity, and to take responsibility for what truly shapes your life and the world around you. 🙏 Subscribe for weekly Theravāda wisdom — insightful talks on freedom, integrity, and the mind that creates both suffering and liberation.
