Evident, yet Subtle are the
4
fine Facts of the Dhamma!

Dependent origination becomes evident, when really seeing,
and understanding:
When this exists, that also comes into being: The seed initiates the
plant...
When this does not exist, that neither comes into being: No seed, no plant...
Wrong view of annihilation becomes evident, when seeing and understanding:
All causes are connected with their resulting effect. Nothing just
appears!
Wrong view of eternity becomes evident, when seeing and understanding:
All states arise instantly as new phenomena. They were not there before...
The characteristic of
no-self
no-substance becomes evident, when understanding:
That
all states have no core essence, and that their being depend on other
conditions.
The characteristic of
impermanence becomes evident, when understanding:
States arise and cease instantly. After having been, they do never
ever exist again!
The characteristic of
suffering
becomes evident, when fully comprehending:
All liked phenomena
come and go. Their inevitable loss is a recurring frustration.
When these subtle,
yet crucial truths, all consequences of
dependent origination,
has become evident to the Buddhist disciple, then all these
constructed formations
appear to
him as a stream perpetual terror: "So all these appearances, it seems,
not having
ever been, come into existence, and then immediately cease, for never
ever to return... Nothing liked can therefore ever remain,
or be kept as if owned...!"
