Friends:
How to be Released into the very End of Suffering?
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus, these
Four
Foundations of Awareness, when firmly established
by development and cultivation, are both Noble and Liberating! They lead
one out into the complete elimination of all Suffering. What four?
Here, Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu lives
& dwells, aware & clearly comprehending,
while continuously contemplating & reflecting upon:
1: The Body merely as a decaying
& ownerless Formation..
2: The Feelings just as conditioned Responses fading away..
3: The Mind only as a set of ingrained & routine Mentalities..
4: Any Phenomenon simply as a constructed mental Appearance..
Thereby removing yearning,
urge, envy & frustration rooted in this world..
These
Four Foundations
of Awareness, Bhikkhus, when firmly established
by development and cultivation, are both Noble and Releasing! They guide
one to the Exit, to the Escape by an absolute destruction of all Suffering!
