Lo Spirito del Giappone (Leonardo Vittorio Arena) / quote 94 of 99

Samsara (definizione)

Samsara. Il ciclo o ruota delle nascite e delle morti, quindi delle reincarnazioni. Lo si considera sede della sofferenza, ma nel Grande Veicolo è equiparato al nirvana. Come dire che l’inferno è il paradiso. Termine sanscrito.
