Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 is an Experience displayed 'In here': The young deity Rohitassa once asked the Buddha: Sir, is it possible - by travelling - to reach, see & know an end of the world, where one is not born, do not age, do not die, do not pass on, & is not reborn? The exalted Buddha promptly answered:That end of the world, where one neither is born, nor ages, nor dies, nor is reborn, can neither be reached, seen, nor known by travelling...However, friend, I say that without reaching this end of the world, there cannot be any Ending of Suffering..It is just here within this fathom long carcass, endowed with conscious experience, that the world emerges, manifests, ceases, and the Way leading to its Ceasing is made known...Therefore, knowing this world to be thus, the intelligent one reach the end of the world, by completing the Noble life! Having directly known the world's end, at ease in peace, there remains no longing for this or any other world...!!! Friendship is the Greatest !
