Release
is induced by disengaged non-identification!
At Savatthi The Buddha once said: Bhikkhus, Form is transient...;
Feeling is transient...; Perception is transient...; Constructions are
transient...; Consciousness is transient. This transience is suffering!
What is suffering is no-self! What is no-self should be seen as it
really is with correct understanding thus: 'This is not mine, this I
am not, this is not my self!' When one sees this thus, as it really is
with correct understanding, one maintains no views on what is past.
When one maintains no more views regarding the past, one neither
maintains any views about the future. When one has relinquished
any views relating to the future, one is not being possessed by
stubborn glinging. Having no trace of immovable glinging left, the
mind becomes disillusioned regarding form, feeling, perception,
mental constructions, and consciousness. By that it is released
from the mental fermentations through detached non-clinging...
By being released, it is stilled... By being stilled, it is content...
By being content, it is not agitated... Being unagitated, one indeed
attains Nibbana! Right there and then, one instantly understands:
'Ended is this process of rebirth, this Noble Life has been lived,
done is what had to be done, there is no state beyond this...
