The
Ten Contemplations is
Daily Routine!
The Blessed
Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus & friends:
There is one contemplation which when often
practised and developed leads to the complete turning away from
the world, to detachment, to stilling, to ceasing, to
Peace, to final
penetrating knowledge, to
Enlightenment, and thus to
Nibbāna...
Any Noble Disciple who by progress have understood the Dhamma
dwells frequently in this state. Which is that one contemplation?
It is reflecting over the qualities of the
Noble
Sangha
like this:
"Perfectly training is this
Noble
Sangha
community of the
Buddha's
Noble Disciples. Training the right way, the true way, the good way,
the direct way! Therefore do these eight kinds of individuals, these
four
Noble pairs, deserve both gifts, self-sacrifice, offerings, much
hospitality and reverential salutation with joined palms, since this
Noble
Sangha
community of the
Buddha's
Noble disciples, is indeed
an unsurpassable & forever unsurpassed field of merit, in this world,
for this world, to honour, support, uphold, respect and protect..."
