Selfless Release Disengages and Detaches!
The Buddha once
explained how to enter the stream leading to
Nibbāna:
One can cut off the 5 lower fetters and enter the Stream to
Nibbāna by
resolving on this with unwavering determination: What is present
here now,
what has come into being, all that I relinquish and leave behind
here & now!
If it is neither 'Me' nor 'Mine' now, nor will it then ever be
'Me' or 'Mine'
in any future... All this accumulation is not-I, not what I am,
not my self!
There is no reason to fear a peace, that is not frightening since:
All form is impermanent, painful, selfless, dependent and
vanishing.
All feeling is transient, hurting, egoless, conditional and fading
away.
All perception is passing, distress, not me, contingent and
leaving instantly.
All construction is temporary, tender, not mine, reliant and
always lost.
All consciousness is brief, misery, not-self, contingent and
evaporating.
So nothing whatsoever is lost at all by leaving behind lust for
form, feeling,
perception, construction and consciousness! When this desire, this
craving
for these 5 elements, is all eliminated, then there remains
neither object,
nor foundation, nor basis for the establishing of any
consciousness...!
When that consciousness remains un-established, without any
foot-hold,
without any object, disengaged, neither generating, nor
proliferating, nor
propagating anything, then it is released, detached by
non-construction,
non-display, non-projection, in a non-manifesting all stilled
quietness...
Being thus liberated from its usual tasks, then consciousness
stabilizes,
and settles. When consciousness becomes steady in this ease of
peace,
it also becomes quite content... When content, then it is also
unagitated!
Being thus fully imperturbable, one attains
Nibbāna right
there and then,
and instantly understands: Rebirth is ended, this Noble Life is
completed,
done is what should be done, there is no state beyond this ...!!!
