There are, friends, these three kinds of fading away, that are
directly
observable, obviously evident, inviting each & every one to come and
see
for themselves, practical, to be personally experienced by any clever
one!
What three?
Someone here is & greedy & lustful, and caused by this very greedy
lust,
he comes to harm himself, to harm others, & to harm both himself &
others...
When this greedy lust later is discarded, then does he neither come to
harm
himself, nor to harm others, nor to harm both himself & others anymore
...
This fading away, caused by wearing away of desire, is directly
observable,
immediate, inviting each & every one to come & see for themselves,
practical,
freeing, releasing, and to be personally experienced by any
intelligence!!!
Furthermore:
Someone here is full of hate & aggression, and caused by this rage of
anger,
he comes to harm himself, to harm others, and to harm both himself &
others...
When this angry hatred later is eliminated, then does he neither come
to harm
himself, nor to harm others, nor to harm both himself & others anymore
...
This fading away, caused by wearing away of ill-will, is directly
observable,
apparent, inviting each & every one to come & see for themselves,
smoothing,
soft, sweet, and to be personally experienced by any intelligence!!!
Finally:
Someone here is deluded, blinded & confused, and caused by this very
ignorance,
he comes to harm himself, to harm others, and to harm both himself &
others...
When this lack of understanding later is cleared up, then does he
neither come
to harm himself, nor to harm others, nor to harm both himself & others
anymore ...
This fading away, caused by wearing away of obscuration, is easily
observable,
actual, inviting each & every one to come & see for themselves, all
advantageous,
awakening, opening, and to be personally experienced by any
intelligence!!!
These, friends, are the three kinds of fading away, that are directly
observable,
immediately accessible, inviting each & every one to come and see for
themselves,
practical, applicable, reachable, & personally experiencable by any
intelligence...
