Parting from What One Loves


What is the suffering of parting from what one loves? What one loves breaks up (dissolves, disintegrates) and becomes dispersed. There are two kinds of parting from what one loves, which are: 1) disintegration of the five skandhas (form, sensations / feelings, perceptions, mental formations / volition / compulsion, and consciousness) of a human and 2) disintegration of the heavenly world. If we count the kinds of five skandhas of the things of heaven and earth, they would be innumerable. This is the suffering of parting from what one loves.”
