Friends:

The 8 Advantages of contemplating Dissolution:
When one continually notes the breakup of all constructions, then contemplation
of Dissolution grows strong & habitual! This brings these 8 advantages into being:

1: Elimination of false view of permanence, constancy & eternal (re)becoming.
2: Letting go of attachment to life itself and any form of being in existence!
3: Constant and continuous improving mental release...
4: Victory over both Attraction & Aversion.
5: Purified livelihood and morality.
6: Patience and Gentleness.
7: Freedom from Anxiety!
8: Absence of Fear!



Regarding which the Ancient Elders remarked:
On realizing these 8 perfect qualities,
One comprehends constructions fully,
Continually Noting their Breakup in order
To swiftly attain the Deathless State of Bliss,
like the Sage with a burning turban. SN 56:34 [V,440]
