Friends:
Understanding the Five Crucial Aspects of the Five Clusters:
Friends, the uninstructed uneducated ordinary person does not understand
as it really is the origin, the ceasing, the satisfaction, the danger, and
the
escape in the case of form, feeling, perception, mental constructions, and
consciousness! But, friends, the instructed Noble Disciple understands as it
really is both the origin, the ceasing, the satisfaction, the danger, and the
escape in the case of form, feeling, perception, mental constructions, and
this very consciousness itself...
How are these 5 aspects of these 5 clusters of clinging to be understood ?
The Origin of Form is Nutriment! The Ceasing of Form is ceasing of Nutriment!
The Satisfaction of Form is the pleasure, fun, ease and joy derived from Form.
The Danger of Form is the impermanence, nature to change & pain within Form..
The Escape from Form is the overcoming & elimination of desire & lust for
Form.
By Nutriment or Fuel is here meant: Food, contact, intention and
consciousness...!!!
The Origin of Feeling, Perception & Mental Construction is Contact by the
senses.
The Ceasing of Feeling, Perception & Mental Construction is ceasing of this
Contact.
The Satisfaction of Feeling, Perception & Mental Construction is the
pleasure, and
joy derived from Feeling, Perception & Mental Construction. The Danger of
Feeling,
Perception & Mental Construction is the inherent impermanence, nature to
change &
therefore dissatisfaction immanent in any Feeling, Perception & Mental
Construction!
The Escape from Feeling, Perception & Mental Construction is the overcoming &
full
elimination of desire, greed & lust for any Feeling, Perception & Mental
Construction!
The Origin of Consciousness is Name-&-Form. The Ceasing of Consciousness is
the
ceasing of Name-&-Form. The Satisfaction of Consciousness is the pleasure &
joy
derived from Consciousness. The Danger within Consciousness is this
impermanence,
nature to change & thus misery following any Consciousness! The Escape from
all
Consciousness is the overcoming & elimination of desire & lust for
Consciousness.
In this way are these 5 aspects of the 5 clusters of clinging to be fully
understood!
In this way the instructed Noble Disciple understands, what should be
understood...
