There Exists an Unconstructed, Unconditioned and Unchanging State!

 

At Savatthi the Blessed Buddha once said to his monks: Bhikkhus, I will teach you the Unconstructed, Unconditioned & Uncreated State, and the very way leading to this unconstructed, unconditioned & uncreated state...Listen and pay alert attention to that, which will lead you to lasting happiness!!!And what, bhikkhus is this unconstructed, unconditioned & uncreated state? The elimination of Greed, the elimination of Hate, & the elimination of Ignorance: This is called the unconstructed, unconditioned & uncreated state of Nibbāna...And what bhikkhus is the good way leading to this unconstructed, unconditioned & uncreated state of eternally pure bliss, open freedom and stilled peace? Awareness of the body as a collection of organs is a way to this unconstructed...The four foundations of awareness is a way to this unconstructed...Serene calm and profound insight is a way to this unconstructed...Absorption into concentrated directed thought & sustained examination is a way...Absorption into emptiness, into signlessness, and into the uninclined is a way...The four right efforts is a way to this unconstructed state...The four roads to force is a way to this unconstructed state...The five pure abilities is a way to this unconstructed state...The five pure powers is a way to this unconstructed state...The seven links to awakening is a way to this unconstructed state...The Noble 8-fold Way is a way to this unconstructed state...These are the ways leading to this unconstructed, unconditioned & uncreated state.Bhikkhus, I have now taught you the unconstructed, unconditioned & uncreated state, and the direct way leading to this unconstructed, unconditioned & uncreated state...Whatever should be done, bhikkhus, by a considerate teacher out of sympathy forhis disciples, wishing their welfare, that I have now done for you. There are rootsof trees, bhikkhus, there are empty huts. Meditate, do not neglect your meditation,bhikkhus, otherwise you will bitterly regret it later. This is our instruction to you...
