for Knowing and Seeing

a Handful of Leaves

Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhassa  |  Just as the great ocean has one taste, the taste of salt, even so, this Dhamma too has one taste, the taste of Freedom.  |   Within this very fathom-long body, with its perceptions and inner sense, lies the world, the cause of the world, the cessation of the world, and the path that leads to the cessation of the world.  [Uposatha Sutta] |  Ehipassiko !  Come & see for yourself. Stop seeking without. Look within.   |  May there be success in verifying the Buddha's Teaching in this very life time. Just this Handful of Leaves secures this Release ............ ((((((0))))))...........Transient are all Compounded Things. Strive on with Diligence.

English

External refuge: For all discourses that you read or listen here, you need to reflect for yourself as follows: 
If the words concerned are traceable in the Discourses (Sutta) and verifiable by the Discipline (Vinaya), then one must conclude thus: 'Certainly, this is the Blessed One's utterance; this has been well understood by that bhikkhu, or by that community, or by those elders, or by that elder. And in that way, you may accept it. Otherwise, you should reject it.' [Mahaparinibbana Sutta, DN 16]

Internal refuge: Kalama Sutta
