Well-placed Faith leads to the Supreme State!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
In so far as there are beings without feet, with two feet or with
four feet, or with many feet, with form or formless, conscious or
unconscious, or neither-conscious-nor-
Tathagata is the highest, Arahat, a Perfectly Self-Awakened One...
Whoever has faith in the Buddha, has faith in what is truly highest!
For those who have faith in the highest, the highest is the result...
In so far as there are conditioned states, the Noble 8-fold Way is
truly the highest. Whoever has faith in this noble 8-fold Way, has
faith in what is highest! For those who have faith in the highest,
the highest will be the result. In so far as there are states, whether
constructed or unconstructed, dispassion, stilling, ceasing is truly
the highest of these states, that is Nibbana... Whoever has faith in
this State, has faith in what is highest! For those who have faith in
the highest, the highest will be the result... In so far as there are
communities, companies and groups, the community of the Disciples
of the Buddha is truly the highest of these, an unsurpassed Field of
Merit. Whoever has faith in the Sangha, has faith in what is highest!
Those who have faith in the highest, will experience the highest...
