Emancipating is Following the
Accomplished Ones!
The Blessed
Buddha once said:
Friends, those Bhikkhus
who are accomplished in morality, masters in concentration,
experts in understanding, consummated in release, fulfilled in the knowledge
& vision
of release, I tell you even just a short sight of those Bhikkhus is
advantageous, even
just listening to them is very profitable, even just visiting them is like a
golden fortune,
even attending on and helping them is productive of good, even just
remembering them
is valuable, and going forth
after or under them is therefore worthwhile, and expedient!
Why? Because, when one has heard true Dhamma from such Bhikkhus, then one
dwells
withdrawn calmed by two kinds of seclusion: secluded in body and secluded in
mind!
