What is the Fruit of
the Noble 8-fold Way?
The Blessed Buddha once said:
While alive, then he is untroubled, and when he dies too, then he is
not worried!
A recluse who has seen the goal, lives undisturbed even in a sorrowful
world... Udāna 46
Wherever he
goes, there he is unafraid.. Wherever he sleeps, there he is
untroubled!
The nights and days neither touch, nor burn him. He sees nothing in this
world that is
to be kept, or lost.. Therefore his mind dwells in goodwill, and gentle
kindness towards
all beings until he falls asleep.
Samyutta Nikāya I 110
One who has attained the Dhamma has no task to do, as his task has been
accomplished.
As long as he has not obtained a foothold, any swimmer must strive to his
utmost ability,
but when he has found a place to rest his feet, and gone up to dry
land, his striving is over,
because he has crossed to the further shore...
Samyutta Nikāya I 48
Untroubled, unworried,
unconcerned, unagitated, & all undisturbed!
More good even better here ;-)
