The 8 Understandings...

[Bhikkhu Samahita]

Friends:

Purification by Knowing and Seeing the Way!

Purification by knowledge & vision of the way comes by 8 understandings:
1: Understanding the momentary rise and fall of all states whatsoever.
2: Understanding the unavoidable dissolution of all phenomena whatsoever.
3: Understanding that appearance is terror, since it always entails suffering.
4: Understanding the danger inherent in clinging to things bound to vanish.
5: Understanding disillusion and dispassion as good signs of reduced greed.
6: Understanding of the deep desire for deliverance from the rebirth round.
7: Understanding of contemplating reflexion as a crucial tool for release.
8: Understanding of equanimity regarding all formations and constructions.
Vism 639
