"This is peace, this is exquisite -
the resolution of all fabrications,
the relinquishment of all acquisitions,
the ending of craving; dispassion, cessation,
Nibbāna."
"There is that dimension where
there is neither earth, nor water, nor fire, nor wind;
there is neither earth, nor water, nor fire, nor wind;
neither dimension of the infinitude of space,
nor the dimension of the infinitude of consciousness,
nor dimension of nothingness,
nor dimension of neither perception nor non-perception;
neither this world, nor the next world, nor sun, nor moon.
And there, I say,
there is neither coming nor going,
nor stasis;
neither passing away nor arising:
without stance, without foundation, without support [mental object].
there is neither coming nor going,
nor stasis;
neither passing away nor arising:
without stance, without foundation, without support [mental object].
This, just this, is the end of stress."
~ Ud 8.1
There's no fire like passion,
no loss like anger,
no pain like the aggregates,
no ease other than peace.
no loss like anger,
no pain like the aggregates,
no ease other than peace.
Hunger: the foremost illness.
Fabrications: the foremost pain.
For one knowing this truth
as it actually is,
Unbinding is the foremost ease.
Fabrications: the foremost pain.
For one knowing this truth
as it actually is,
Unbinding is the foremost ease.
Freedom from illness: the foremost good fortune.
Contentment: the foremost wealth.
Trust: the foremost kinship.
Unbinding: the foremost ease.
Contentment: the foremost wealth.
Trust: the foremost kinship.
Unbinding: the foremost ease.
