Drop of Dhamma Delight!

Friends:

Realizable here & now in each & every Moment!

 

The Blessed Buddha once said:
Through greed, hate, and confusion, overwhelmed and obsessed by
greed, hate, & confusion, one aims at one's own ruin, others' ruin,
at the ruin of both, & one suffers much mental pain & frustration...
If, however, greed, hate, & confusion are eliminated, then one aims
neither at one's own ruin, nor at others' ruin, nor at ruining both,
and one suffers neither any mental pain nor any frustration at all!
Hence is Nibbāna realizable right here & now in this very lifetime,
immediate, inviting, interesting, & intelligible to each intelligent one.
Exactly in so far as anyone has made real the complete ceasing of
all greed, hate, and confusion, just in so far is Nibbāna realizable
right here & now in this very life, immediate, inviting, interesting, &
intelligible to each and every intelligent being...
