Which Six Things
leads to Final Knowledge?
The Blessed Buddha once pointed out:
1: Considering the Transience of all
Constructions, leads to final knowledge...
2: Contemplating the Pain within all passing
states, leads to final knowledge...
3: Comprehending the Impersonality of all phenomena, leads to final knowledge...
4: Considering the advantage of Withdrawal by Detachment, leads to final knowledge...
5: Contemplating the Fading Away of Greed by fine
Disillusion, leads to final knowledge...
6: Comprehending the Freedom, Bliss & Peace of Stilled
Ceasing, leads to final knowledge...
One endowed with Final Knowledge (Aññā)
knows:
Rebirth has ceased, completed is this Noble life, done is what had to be
done,
there is no state of being higher, beyond or after this...
