The Rhinocero's Horns 4!

[Guest guest]

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!
