Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Friends: The Twin Truths won by keen Dual Consideration: The blessed Buddha once said:Friends, the first consideration is:Whatever Misery arises, it is caused by Mental Construction !Another consequent consideration is:Stilling of all Mental Construction, ceases Misery completely! Knowing this danger: - All Suffering is caused by Mental Construction -,by silencing all experience, sensation & feeling, the wise escape all Pain!Considering these twin truths cautiously, resolutely & enthusiastically, one may either enter the state of Nibbāna right here & now in this life,or if there is lasting traces of clinging left, the state of a non-returner...Those who neglect understanding of Mental Construction, the origin of Mental Construction, the End of Mental Construction, and how Mental Construction is completely eliminated, are incapable of release by understanding, are incapable of mental release, are incapable of direct knowledge, and are thereby incapable of making an end...They repeat birth, ageing, decay, sickness & death ever again... While those who undertake understanding of Mental Construction, Origin, End & Way, indeed are capable of mental release by understanding, sure certainty, and capable of making an end... They are near the deathless dimension! Source: The Bundle of Threads.
