Friends:
How does the Stream-Enterer approach Nibbâna?
Once in
Savatthi
the Blessed
Buddha
said this:
Bhikkhus, a
Noble Disciple who
possesses four things is a
Stream-Enterer! no
longer bound to
the lower worlds, fixed in destiny, with
Enlightenment as his
assured destination.
Well established on these
4 factors of Stream-Entry
one should develop further the 6 things,
that contribute to true knowledge:
1: One should dwell observing the impermanence of all phenomena.
2: One should dwell experiencing the suffering in all, that is
impermanent.
3: One should dwell experiencing the impersonality of all, that is
suffering.
4: One should dwell experiencing the gradual withdrawal by
relinquishment.
5: One should dwell experiencing the fading away of desire by
disillusion..
6: One should dwell experiencing the peaceful ceasing of all
craving...
It is in exactly this way, that you should train yourself..
Notes: The
Stream Winner!
A
Stream-Enterer (Sotāpanna) has a maximum of 7 lives left
before his Enlightenment.
He or she cannot be reborn in hell, as ghost, as animal, or as angry
demon, and is thus safe
from samsaric downfall.. Further details see:
