Evident yet Subtle are the
Facts of the Dhamma!
Dependent origination becomes evident, when really seeing &
understanding:
When this exists, that also comes into being. The seed initiates the
plant...
When this does not exist, that neither comes into being. No seed no plant...
Wrong view of annihilation becomes evident, when seeing and understanding:
All causes are connected with their resulting effect. Nothing just
disappears!
Wrong view of eternity becomes evident, when seeing and understanding:
All states arise instantly as a new phenomena. They were not there before...
The characteristic of
no-self
becomes evident, when seeing & understanding:
That all states have no core and that their being depends on other
conditions.
The characteristic of
impermanence becomes evident, when understanding:
States rise & fall instantly. After having been, they do never exist again!
The characteristic of
suffering becomes evident, when comprehending:
All liked phenomena
rise and
fall. Their inevitable loss is an oppressive pain.
When these several truths, all aspects of the
dependent origination, have
become evident to the Buddhist disciple, then constructions appear to him
as perpetually renewed: So all these states, it seems, not ever having been,
come into existence and then immediately cease...
