Experiencing
Elimination
removes the 3 Evil Roots!
The
Blessed Buddha once said:
What, Ananda, is the experience of
Elimination?
Here the Bhikkhu does neither tolerate nor allow any thought
joined with
greed, lust, desire, craving, urging or longing to arise and establish
itself,
he eliminates it, eradicates it, overcomes it, dispels it and abandons it...
Also the Bhikkhu does neither tolerate nor allow any thought joined with
hate, anger, ill-will, irritation, or resentment to arise and establish
itself,
he eliminates it, eradicates it, overcomes it, dispels it and abandons it...
Also the Bhikkhu does neither tolerate nor allow any thought joined with
cruelty, brutality, violence, or viciousness to arise and establish itself,
he eliminates it, eradicates it, overcomes it, dispels it and abandons it...
Similarly with all other arisen evil and disadvantageous mental states,
he does neither tolerate nor allow them to gain a footing before he right
there & then, quickly, on the very spot eliminates them, overcomes them,
destroys them, annihilates them, dispels them and abandons them...
When successful: Then this is the experience of Elimination!
