Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Friends: How to reach the Certainty of Final Knowledge? The Blessed Buddha once said:Bhikkhus, there are these four Foundations of Awareness.What four? The ever calmly reminding awareness of: 1: Body as a mass of disgusting impurities...2: Feelings as a repeating emotional noise... 3: Mind as a conditioned set of weird moods...4: Phenomena as mentally baked appearances... while always acutely alert & clearly comprehending, thus removing any envy, jealousy, frustration & discontent rooted in this world... When, Bhikkhus, these four Four Foundations of Awareness have been developed and cultivated, one of two fruits may be expected:Either Final Knowledge in this very life or if there is residual clinging, the exalted state of Non-Return... Source of reference (edited extract): The Grouped Sayings of the Buddha. Samyutta Nikaya.Book [V: 181] 47 Foundations of Awareness: 36 Final Knowledge..
