ROUTE OF SAMSARA
The Cycle of Becoming and Undoing
In the rhythm of breath and footfall, we remember: All things will pass. The sages beyond us whisper that nothing stays. Our route winds through birth, sorrow, joy, and death, only to begin again. In motion, we awaken. In release, we are free.
To Run is to Remember
ROUTE OF SAMSARA
The concept of Samsara is central to Buddhist philosophy, representing the endless cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth that all sentient beings go through. This cycle is visualized in the samsara-chakra, the wheel of life. As runners, we can relate to this transformation in many ways. We experience birth, life, death and rebirth in micro cycles like races or daily workout routines and macro cycles like the progression of a training block, or suffering and coming back from an injury. In fact, our whole life as a runner underlies this never ending Route of Samsara. As we run, we suffer and we triumph, we explore the depths of our inner self, to transcend our perceived limitations. We all follow the Route of Samsara.
