Friends:
Released by Disengaged
Non-identification!
At Savatthi The Buddha once said:
All form is transient, all feeling is transient, all
perception is transient,
all mental constructions are transient, all consciousness is
transient...
This transience is suffering! What is suffering is no-self!
What is no-self
should be seen as it really is with correct understanding in
this very way:
"All this is not mine, cannot be mine, this I am not, this is
not my self!"...
When one sees and understands this thus, as it really is with
correct and
penetrating understanding, then one maintains no views on what
is past.
When one maintains no more views regarding the past, then one
neither
maintains any views about the future. When one has
relinquished all hopes
regarding the future, then one is not being possessed by
stubborn clinging!
Having no trace of immovable clinging left, the mind becomes
disillusioned
regarding all form, all feeling, all perception, all mental
constructions, and
all consciousness. By that it is released from the
3 mental fermentations
through detached non-clinging... By being released, the mind
is all silenced!
By being thus stilled, the mind becomes content... Being
content, it is not
agitated anymore... Being thus unagitated, one indeed attains
Nibbāna!
Right there and then, one instantly understands: Ended is this
process of
rebirth, this Noble Life has been lived, done is all what had
to be done,
there is no state beyond this...
