Friends:

                 Dissolution of States:
            All past constructions have vanished.
            All present construction is vanishing.
            All future constructions will vanish.

            All phenomena are sure to cease.
            All being in existence will be cut off.
            All becoming is therefore truly a Terror.

            It is Void, Vain & Empty
            Like an Empty Village,
            Like a tumour, a cancer,
            Like a disease, an affliction,
            Like a trap, a burning pit.

            About this Generalization the Ancients Elders said:

             The substitution of the Object.
             The transference of the Understanding.
             The power of redirecting thought - these
             Are the Insights following real Reflection.

             Defining both to be Alike.
             By inference from that same object,
             Intent on Ending all - these are insights
             into the characteristics of Decay & Fall.

             Having reflected on an object,
             One contemplates dissolution of that thought,
             Appearance then as Empty - this
             Is Insight into higher Understanding.

             Clever in the three Contemplations:
             (arising, fall, dissolution of all phenomena)
            And in the fourfold Insight too.
            Skilled in the three Appearances:
             (transient, pain & non-self are all states)
            The various diverse views cannot shake him.

            With view of what is Present purified.
            He infers the past & future to be alike.
            He knows that all constructions disappear
            Like a dew drop in the morning sun.

            The clusters of clinging cease & nothing else ever were.
            The breakup of these groups is known as Death.
            He observes their continual decay unwaveringly
            As one who drill a hole in a jewel with a diamond!
            Visuddhimagga-Magga (The Path of Purification) XXI

            As the expert drilling a jewel with a diamond tool only pays
            attention to the hole and not to the colour of the jewel,
            so do the meditator too, wisely keep his mind fixed & focused
            on the Ceaseless Dissolution of all conditioned constructions
            and not on the constructions ( mental formations) themselves.
            Visuddhimagga-Magga commentary (Paramatthamanjusa) [830]

                                        -ooOoo-    

                        And he who regards the World
                        as one who watches a bubble,
                        as one views a mirror image,
                        is unseen by Death - the King.
                                          Dhammapada 170.

                                        -ooOoo-

 When one sees the dissolution of reflection on causes & conditions,
 this thinking in itself being an construction - a mental formation -
 the ancients elders (poranas) said:

            He sees with insight both the known & the knowledge.
            Knowledge is what is known &
            understanding is the act of understanding that.

                                        -ooOoo-    

            Seeing with insight is always seeing it
            as it really is:
            Impermanent, miserable & impersonal.

                                        -ooOoo-

Be careful. The world is a trap!
