If I could send a few word letter to kid me, assuming future-information is banned (eg buy bitcoin), I’d choose “look for tanha”

Partially because it’s just cryptic enough that I’d spend a long time researching to even figure out what it meant, and partially because I think investing a few years towards the goal of seeing tanha is a great use of time

I could send “four noble truths” or “learn Buddhism” but it would have spooked me bc I was told Buddhism was a bunch of religious people who hate hair and being reborn as mosquitos. Whereas tanha clearly isn’t a religion, it’s a tangible mental action I somehow need to look for
