The 4 Truths perform 4 Functions in a single Moment!
The Blessed
Buddha once said this:
Bhikkhus, any one who sees
Suffering, sees
also
The Cause of Suffering,
sees also
The End of Suffering,
sees also
The Way to End all Suffering..
Any one who sees
The Cause of Suffering,
sees also
Suffering,
Ending, &
The Way. And any
one who sees
The End, sees also
Pain,
Cause, &
The Way.
Consequently any one who sees
The Way to End Pain,
sees also
Suffering,
sees also
The Cause of Suffering,
sees also
The Ending of Suffering!
Comments on Coming Through:
Breakthrough to the Truths thus performs 4 functions
at a single moment!
4 of these breakthroughs occur at each path-entry-moment to Nobility...
The effect is each time an even deeper irreversible mental purification!
When these 4 Truths are flashing forth & forever transforms one's life
and mentality,
Nibbāna is the single
object pointed to as a possible escape!
There is only one single Exit out of this burning cinema of appearances...
A Matrix of Clinging!
