The final safe State
of supreme unified Bliss!
At
Savatthi
the
Blessed Buddha once said to his monks:
I will teach you the uncorrupted state, & the way to this uncorrupted state...
Bhikkhus, I will teach you the truth, & the way leading to this absolute truth...
I will teach you the far shore ... the subtle ... the sublime ... the difficult to see ...
the unageing ... the stable ... the safe ... the undisintegrating & undecaying state ...
the unmanifested ... the unproliferated ... the unclinging ... untroubled silence ...
the peaceful ... the supreme bliss ... the fortunate ... the wonderful
& amazing ...
the cooling of craving ... disillusion ... purity ... freedom ... the island shelter ...
the assured asylum ... the final refuge ... the deathless destination ...
Nibbāna...
Listen and pay alert attention to that,
which will lead you to lasting happiness!
And what, Bhikkhus, is this
Nibbāna?
The absence of all Greed, the stilling of all Hate, & the ending of all Ignorance:
This is called the uncorrupted state of
Nibbāna...
And what, Bhikkhus, is this
very
good way leading to this undying state of
Nibbāna?
Awareness of the body just
as organs is a way to this uncorrupted state ...
The four foundations
of awareness
are a way to this absolute truth ...
Serene calm and
profound insight is a way to this this far shore ...
Absorption into directed thought
and
sustained examination is a way...
Absorption into emptiness, signlessness, and into the uninclined is a way...
The four right efforts
are a way to this the very difficult to see state...
The four roads to force
are a way to this supreme bliss ...
The five pure abilities
are a way to this purity ...
The five pure powers
are a way to this freedom ...
The seven links to awakening
are a way to this peace ...
The Noble 8-fold Way
is a way to this deathless destination ...
These are ways leading to this
Nibbāna...
I have now taught you
Nibbāna...
and the way leading to this
Nibbāna... Whatever should be done,
Bhikkhus,
by a
considerate teacher out of sympathy for his disciples, wishing only their
welfare,
that I have now done for you. There are roots of trees, Bhikkhus,
there are empty
huts. Meditate, do not neglect your meditation, Bhikkhus,
otherwise you may come
to regret it later! This is our instruction to you...
