The Blessed Buddha once
said:
What, Bhikkhus, is the
Ability
of Understanding?
Here, Bhikkhus, any Noble Disciple who is both intelligent and wise;
is endowed with understanding of cause and effect,
is endowed with understanding of arising and ceasing,
is endowed with understanding of conditioned dependency,
which is Noble, penetrative, & leading to the complete irreversible
elimination of any and all Suffering...
He understands it, as it really is: This is Suffering!
He understands it, as it really is: This is the Cause of Suffering!
He understands it, as it really is: This is the Ceasing of Suffering!
He understands it, as it really is: This is the Way to End Suffering!
This is called the
Ability of
Understanding!
