The
10 Contemplations is Daily Buddhist Routine!
The
Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus & friends: There is one contemplation, which when often
practiced
and developed leads to the complete turning away from the world, leads
to
detachment, to stilling, to ceasing, to Peace, to final penetrating
knowledge,
to Enlightenment, and thus indeed to
Nibbāna...
Any Noble Disciple who by progress has understood the Dhamma dwells
frequently in this state. Which is that one contemplation?
It is reflecting regarding the qualities of ultimate
Peace like this:
This is peaceful, this is sublime, namely, the stilling of all kammic
construction,
the leaving all behind of all substrata of any being, the complete
vanishing of
all sorts of craving, ceasing, release,
Nibbāna...
Whatever, Bhikkhus & friends, there is of both conditioned and
unconditioned
things, dependent & independent constructions, releasing detachment is
always
considered the highest of them, that is, the final destruction of
ego-belief,
the overcoming of all desire & thirst, the rooting out of clinging,
the breaking
out of this long round of rebirths, the vanishing of craving by
absolute release!
This -only this- is
Nibbāna...
The
Buddha emphasized:
Nibbāna
is the Highest Happiness!
