Nibbāna is: Total ease, complete calm, absolute freedom,
supreme happiness, and pure peace… Absence of
any uncertainty, any doubt, any confusion, any delusion, and all
ignorance… Presence of confidence, certainty, understanding all, and
complete direct
experience… Absence of any greed, lust, desire, any urge, attraction, hunger,
and any temptation… Presence of imperturbable and serene composure
inside an all still silenced
equanimity… Absence of all hate, anger, aversion, irritation,
opposition, and any stubborn
rigidity… Presence of universal goodwill: An infinite, all-embracing,
gentle, and friendly kindness… Nibbāna is not a place, not an idea, not a fantasy,
no deception, not a conceit,
not
finite, not definable,
not
conceptual, neither a cause, nor an effect, not formed, not begun,
not beginning, not ending, not
changing, not temporal, timeless, and thus ever lasting… Nibbāna
is unborn, unbecome, unmade, uncreated, uncaused, unconditioned, and
all unconstructed,
not influenced, not a reflection, unimagined,
and thus ultimately real… Nibbāna
is void
of seeing, visible
objects and visual consciousness, void of hearing, sounds
and auditory consciousness, void of smelling,
fragrance, and smell consciousness, void of tasting, tastes
and gustatory consciousness, void of body, touch
and tactile consciousness, and void of mind,
ideas, thoughts, thinking, and all mental
consciousness… Thus = Pure Peace @ Rest …
The
Blessed Buddha once said: Hard it is to see the unconstructed, the undistorted.. This independent state
is
not easily
realized. Craving is all cut for the One, who so knows, since he sees, that there is nothing
to cling to ...
Udana - Inspiration: VIII - 2
In any dependence there
is bound to be instability. In free independence there cannot be
any instability.
When there is no liable instability, no feeble wavering, there is a quiet calm,
stillness, serenity and peace... When there is such solid tranquility, then
there is no drive to drift along or skate away,
neither is there any mental push,
nor any pull, nor any attraction,
nor any strain of appeal,
or ever of repulsion. When there is no attraction, no
drift, no bending, then there
is neither any movement, change or transience, nor any coming,
and thus much less any going away.. Neither
is any starting, nor any ending occurring...
When there is neither any coming, nor any going, then there is neither any
ceasing, nor any re-appearance or
rebirth... When there neither is any ceasing,
nor
any reappearing, then there is neither any here, nor there, nor beyond, nor
even in between...
This - just this - is the End of Suffering!
Udana - Inspiration: VIII - 4
Having understood this
unconstructed state, released in mind, with the chain of and to becoming eliminated,
they attain to this supreme and sublime essence of all states. Delighting in the calmed end
of all craving, those steady
Noble Ones have left all being and any repeated becoming irreversibly all behind... Itivuttaka: Thus spoken 38
Nibbana
is The Highest Bliss!
One, who so knows, sees that there is nothing to cling to ...
