The
10 Contemplations is
Daily Buddhist Routine!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus and friends:
There is this one contemplation, which when often practised
and developed
leads to the complete turning away from the world, to detachment,
to stilling, to ceasing,
to Peace, to final
penetrating knowledge, to
Enlightenment,
and thus to
Nibbāna... Any Noble Disciple, who by
gradual progress has understood
this refined Dhamma,
often dwells in this state.
Which is that unique contemplation?
It is reflecting over the ethic qualities of own moral purity exactly
like this:
The Noble Disciple reviews and recollects his own morality
(Sīla),
which is unbroken,
immaculate, unspotted, unsoiled, productive of release, praised by the clever,
yet
not
stiff by pride, which leads to concentration... Source:

Comments:
Major moral transgressions induce
downfall!
Medium moral impurities blocks any
spiritual progress in this life, if not repaired. Even microscopic moral
pollutants
exclude attainment of meditative jhāna absorption despite
prolonged efforts...
