Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS POST FROM ANOTHER SITE. sIDDHANANDA 4 Noble Truths ! Rational Attention: Rational attention is when one actually observes: That all phenomena are impermanent & momentary; That all phenomena are disappointing as always lost; That all phenomena are impersonal, core & owner-less! Then Gladness springs up in one! When one is glad, Happiness emerges. When one is happy, the body Calms down. When one is tranquil, one feels Pleasure. When one feels pleasure, the mind Concentrates When concentrated, one fully Understands: This & such is Suffering. This Craving is the cause of Suffering. Thus Ceasing of Craving Ends Suffering. This Noble 8-fold Way leads to this End of Suffering. When a Noble Friend fully understands that, then there is no more he needs to do. Thus: Be Aware!
