Friends:
Selfless Release is Disengaged & Detached Freedom!
One can cut off the 5 lower fetters and enter the Stream to
Nibbana by resolving on this with unwavering determination:
What is present, what has come to into being, all that I leave...
'If it is neither 'Me' nor 'Mine' now, neither will it be 'Me' nor
'Mine' in any future. All this is not I, not what I am, not my self!'
There is no reason to fear a peace, that is not frightening since:
All form is impermanent, painful, selfless, dependent & vanishing.
All feeling is transient, hurting, egoless, conditional and fading.
All perception is passing, distress, not me, contingent & leaving.
All construction is temporary, tender, not mine, reliant & all lost.
All consciousness is brief, misery, not I, contingent & evaporating.
So nothing is lost al all by leaving lust for form, feeling, perception,
construction & consciousness! When this desire, this craving & urge
for these 5 elements, is all eliminated, then there remains no object,
no foundation, no basis for the establishing of any consciousness...!!!
When that momentary consciousness is thus unestablished, without
any object, disengaged, neither generating, nor proliferating, nor
propagating anything, it is released, detaching by non-construction,
non-display, non-projection, and non-manifesting stilled quietness...
Being thus liberated from its usual tasks consciousness stabilizes,
and settles. When consciousness becomes steady in the ease of peace,
it also becomes quite content... When content, it is utterly unagitated!
Being thus imperturbable, one attains Nibbana right there and then
and instantly understands: Birth is ended, this Noble Life is completed,
done is what should be done, there is no state beyond this ... !!!
