Stilling
of Mental Construction is Nibbâna!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Here, Ananda, the Bhikkhu considers it all like this:
This is the supreme peace, this is sublime calm: The stilling of
all formations,
the silencing of all mental construction,
the relinquishing of all substrata
fuelling existence, the fading away
of all craving, detachment, release,
ceasing, Nibbāna...
In this way, Ananda, the Bhikkhu may enter a mental absorption in
which
there is no notion of 'I' and 'mine', no attacks of conceiving any
internal
consciousness or any external objects and wherein he is both
mentally
released and fully liberated through understanding this all...
In
this silenced and wholly stilled state there is no inclination to "I" and
"mine-making", and no more attacks of
conceit by latent tendencies to
identification, egotism, and narcissism!
Anguttara
Nikāya AN 3:32
Knowing both what the inner
is and the outer is,
one is neither stirred, nor troubled any more!
When thus stilled and imperturbable, there is
neither any attraction, nor any
repulsion...
One has crossed and escaped ageing and death!!!
Sutta Nipāta 1048
