The four messengers
The Origin of Philosophy | September 11, 2014
The origin of philosophy is wonder. ItÂ’s a sense of being astonished, a sense of waking up to the fact that youÂ’re here rather than not here. And I would take that also to be what the Buddha was awakened to on seeing a sick person, an old person, a corpse.
– Stephen Batchelor, “Going Back to the Source”
