Open Dwelling Teaches
the Truth of Transience!
The Blessed One often praised
Tree Roots
as a fine dwelling place:
Secluded in mind, and guarded well by deities, one lives there truly devoted without
any
longing or urging for any city or house... And when the tender leaves are seen,
first
bright
carmine red, then turning green, and finally to shades of yellow as they fall,
right then
one
relinquishes mistaken belief in permanence once and for
all... Tree roots is thus granted
by the One as a serene scene no wise one should reject at all, for study of rise
and fall...
Visuddhimagga I 74, Vin I 58, 96
