Non-Agitation through detached
Release:
The Blessed Buddha
once said:
How, friends, is there
non-agitation through detached release?
Regarding this, friends, the educated normal person, who is a friend
of a Noble One & who is clever & well trained in his Dhamma, or who
is a friend of a Great Man & is clever and well trained in his Dhamma,
avoids regarding form as self, he avoids regarding self as having form,
he avoids regarding form as inside any self, or any self as inside a form!!!
Then inevitably his body form changes & decays. When this change and
decay of his material form occurs, his mind does not become occupied
with this change of just a form. Therefore does no agitated mental state,
arised from worry over this changed body form, remain obsessing his mind ...
Because his mind is not obsessed, he is neither frightened, nor distressed,
nor anxious, & by this detached non-clinging his agitation is all stilled!!!
He does not regard feeling as self ... perception as self ... constructions
as self ... consciousness as self, nor the self as possessing consciousness,
nor consciousness as being inside any self, nor any self as being 'inside'
consciousness ... When his consciousness momentarily changes & alters,
his mind does not become engaged with this fast change of consciousness.
Therefore does no agitated mental state, born of concern over this changed
consciousness, remain obsessing his mind! Because his mind is neither obsessed,
nor upset, nor troubled, nor uneasy, this aloof and detached non-clinging
still,
calm and evaporate all
prior agitations! It is exactly in this way, friends,
that there is non-agitation through non-clinging.

such void! ;-) hihi
