Friends:

The Twin Truths won by keen Dual Consideration:

The blessed Buddha once said:
Friends, the first clever consideration is:
Such is Misery, and This is the Cause of Misery.
Another consequent & subsequent consideration is:
Such is the End of Misery, and This is the Way to end Misery.

One who lives considering these cautiously, resolutely & enthusiastically,
may either enter the state of Nibbāna  right here & now in this very life,
or if there is remaining traces of clinging, the state of non-return...
Those who neglect understanding Misery, Cause of Misery, End of Misery,
and how Misery is completely & irreversibly eliminated, are incapable of
release by understanding, are incapable of mental release, are incapable
of direct knowledge, and are thereby incapable of making an end...
While those who undertake real understanding of Misery, Cause of Misery,
End of Misery, & Way to End Misery, are indeed capable of mental release
by understanding, direct knowledge, and thus capable of making an end...
