Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Friends: The Twin Truths won by keen Dual Consideration: The blessed Buddha once said:Friends, the first consideration is:Such is Misery, & This is the Cause of Misery.Another consequent consideration is:Such is the End of Misery, & This is the Way to end Misery. One who lives considering these cautiously, resolutely & enthusiastically,may either enter the state of Nibbāna right here & now in this very life,or if there is remaining traces of clinging, the state of non-return...Those who neglect understanding Misery, origin of Misery, End of Misery,and how Misery is completely & irreversibly 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...While those who undertake understanding of Misery, Origin, End & Way,are indeed capable of mental release by understanding, direct knowledge, and thus capable of making an end...
