Friends:
Completely
Comprehending & Leaving the All is the Crucial Core Capability!
At Savatthi the Blessed Buddha said this:
Bhikkhus, without directly knowing & completely comprehending
The All, without
being disgusted with it and leaving it all behind, one is incapable of eliminating
any suffering... Without directly knowing & completely comprehending the
eye, forms, ear, sounds, nose,
smells, tongue, tastes, body, touches, mind, ideas and all metal
states, any consciousness
all forms of contact and whatever kind of feeling arised
caused by such sense-contacts,
without becoming disgusted with it, without relinquishing it all, & without
letting it all go,
one is
incapable of
eradicating any suffering irreversibly... This, friends, is
that All, which without directly knowing, without completely
comprehending, without being disgusted by & without leaving, one is incapable of eliminating
all suffering...
Comments:
The radical rationality of the Buddha-Dhamma here shines forth, wiping all
empty babble away! Since what is suffering?
The five Clusters of Clinging are suffering! Body,
Feeling, Perception, Construction & Consciousness and thus also the 6 senses, their 6 objects,
& 6
kinds of consciousnesses, their 6 kinds of contact and their 6 kinds of feeling are all suffering... Why
is all that suffering? Because all that is inherently impermanent and thus always lost, decaying, &
vanishing by itself...
Clinging is an intensified form of Craving...
Craving is the Cause of Misery!!!
