Very easy to understand.

This is the story of a man leaving home to know about Nirvana. Meeting many people and he learns life lessons. It’s a story easy to understand.

Nothing was, nothing will be; everything is, everything has existence and is present.
A person or an act is never entirely Sansara or entirely Nirvana.
Accept the situation.
Not to have attachments.

Cherish your vision and cherish your ideals.
