Friends:

How to reduce, eliminate & leave behind Wrong View ???

Friends, when one regards this eye, which actually indeed is impermanent,
as transient: that is a quite right view. When one regards this ear, which
really is a passing thing, as fleeting: that is a quite right view. When one
regards this nose, which also is temporary, as transient: that is right view.
When one regards this tongue, which also is non-lasting, as transient: that
is a quite right view. When one regards this body, which is inconstant, as
transitory: that is surely a right view. When one regards this mind, which
actually also is ephemeral, as momentary: that too is a quite accurate view.
Seeing these fading phenomena rightly, one develops dispassion & disgust!
With the gradual destruction of delight, comes the full elimination of lust.
With the gradual destruction of lust, comes the full elimination of delight.
With the complete elimination of both delight & lust, the mind is said to be
well released...

Comments: The real prison is not physical & outside, but mental & inside!
The released mind do not want anything, need anything, seek anything.
The released mind do not yearn, hunt, crave, or hanker after anything.
Being thus without urge, thirst & hunger, such mind is entirely stilled ...
This serene tranquility is a bliss, freedom & peace not of this world!!!

Final Freedom...
      Yeah!
