life is but a dream…

April 8, 2006 by randomguru 

row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream

merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
life is but a dream…

. . . .

Even an old nursery song can sound Buddhist.

Consider this excerpt from Reality in Buddhism (wikipedia):

In Buddhism the perceived reality is considered unreal (according to the Buddha: “Mañjushri, dreams appear but do not exist. Similarly all things, too, appear but do not exist.”…“They are illusory, like a mirage, a castle in the sky, the moon in water, a reflected image and an emanation.”[1])
