Supreme unified Bliss!

The final safe State of supreme unified Bliss!

At Savatthi the Blessed Buddha once said to his monks:
I will teach you the uncorrupted state, & the way to the uncorrupted state...
Bhikkhus, I will teach you the truth, & the way leading to this absolute truth...
I will teach you the far shore ... the subtle ... the sublime ... the difficult to see ...
the unageing ... the stable ... the safe ... the undisintegrating & undecaying state ...
the unmanifested ... the unproliferated ... the unclinging ... untroubled silence ...
the peaceful ... the supreme bliss ... the fortunate ... the wonderful & amazing ...
the cooling of craving ...  disillusion ... purity ... freedom ... the island shelter ...
the assured asylum ... the final refuge ... the deathless destination ... Nibbāna...
Listen and pay alert attention to that which will lead you to lasting happiness!
And what, Bhikkhus is this Nibbāna?
The absence of all Greed, the stilling of all Hate, & the ending of all Ignorance:
This is called the uncorrupted state of Nibbāna... And what, Bhikkhus, is this
very good way leading to this undying state of Nibbāna?

Awareness of the body just as organs is a way to this uncorrupted state ...
The four foundations of awareness is a way to this absolute truth ...
Serene calm and profound insight is a way to this this far shore ...
Absorption into directed thought and sustained examination is a way...
Absorption into emptiness, signlessness, and into the uninclined is a way...
The four right efforts are a way to this the very difficult to see state...
The four roads to force are a way to this supreme bliss ...
The five pure abilities are a way to this purity ...
The five pure powers are a way to this freedom ...
The seven links to awakening are a way to this peace ...
The Noble 8-fold Way are a way to this deathless destination ...



These are ways leading to this Nibbāna... I have now taught you Nibbāna...
and the way leading to this Nibbāna... Whatever should be done, Bhikkhus,
by a considerate teacher out of sympathy for his disciples, wishing only their
welfare, that I have now done for you. There are roots of trees, Bhikkhus,
there are empty huts. Meditate, do not neglect your meditation, Bhikkhus,
otherwise you may come to regret it later. This is our instruction to you...

Experiencing Danger removes false Complacency of Safety!

Experiencing Danger removes false Complacency of Safety!

The Blessed Buddha once said:
What, Ananda, is the experience of Danger?
Here the Bhikkhu considers thus: Truly, this body is prone to sickness, full of
countless painful Dangers. Many kinds of suffering arise in this body, such as:
Diseases of eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, head, mouth, tooth-ache, pneumonia,
asthma, colds, angina, fever, belly ache, fainting, diarrhoea, kidney failure,
cholera, leprosy, arthritis, psoriasis, tuberculosis, epilepsy, anaemia, scabies,
ring-worm, psychosis, bilious jaundice, diabetes, strokes & palsy, cancer, piles,
boils, fistulas, diseases brought about by cold, heat, starvation, disturbed or
failing excretion, disharmonic living, climatic changes, environmental pollution,
accidents, social unrest, stress or violence or due to kamma! Thus does he live
while regularly experiencing the inherent Danger of having a physical body.
This is the experience of Danger.

The experience of Danger is one of the 18 principal insights:

The rewards are:
1: Realistic sensation of acute urgency.
2: Disables risky reliance on what is neither safe nor lasting.
3: Complete cure of the naive intoxication of youth, beauty and success!

What is the Deathless State?

What is the Deathless State?

A certain not very well known Bhikkhu once asked the Blessed Buddha:
Venerable Sir, the removal of Greed, Hate, and Ignorance, is it often said…
What, Venerable Sir, is the real meaning of that statement?
This removal of Greed, Hate, & Ignorance is a description of the dimension
of Nibbāna…The final elimination of the mental fermentations is spoken of
just like that.

Then that Bhikkhu asked the Blessed One:
Venerable Sir, the Deathless, the Deathless, is it often said…
What, Sir, is this Deathless and what is the way leading the Deathless?
The destruction of Greed, of Hate, and the destruction of Ignorance:
This is called the Deathless. The Noble 8-fold Way is the way leading to
this Deathless; that is:

Right View  (sammā-ditthi)
Right Motivation  (sammā-sankappa)
Right Speech  (sammā-vācā)
Right Action  (sammā-kammanta)
Right Livelihood  (sammā-ājīva)
Right Effort  (sammā-vāyāma)
Right Awareness  (sammā-sati)
Right Concentration  (sammā-samādhi)

Craving for Sense Pleasure causes Pain

Craving for Sense Pleasure causes Pain!

The Blessed Buddha once said:
Truly, due to craving for sense pleasure, conditioned by sensuous
craving, compelled by craving for sense pleasure, entirely pushed by
craving for sense pleasure, kings fight with kings, princes fight with
princes, priests with priests, citizens with citizens; mother quarrels
with son, son with mother; father with son, son with father; brother
with brother, brother with sister, sister with brother, friend fights
even with his friend. Thus, lost in conflict, quarreling, and hostilities,
they attack one another with fists, sticks or weapons. And thereby
they suffer death or deadly pain. And further, due to this craving
for sense pleasure, people break into houses, rob, plunder, pillage
whole villages, commit highway robbery, & seduce the wives of others.
Then the rulers have such people caught and inflict on them various
forms of punishment. And thereby they meet death or deadly pain!
This is the misery of sensuous craving: The accumulation of pain in
this present life, due to craving for short and trivial sense pleasure...
Furthermore, one accepts evil modes of action, speech, and thought!
Thus, at the break-up of the body after death, one fall into a bad
state of existence, a state of suffering, into perdition, even into
the inferno of hell. All this misery results from sensuous craving...
Such is the heaping up of future suffering caused by craving for
this short-lived simple sense pleasure...



All Craving causes Suffering!
Blissful is being without passions in this world,
Blissful is the overcoming of all sense-desires!
Udana II, 1
