Friends:
The Truths have to be seen before
Awakening is possible!
The Blessed Gotama Buddha once
explained:
If anyone should ever postulate: Without having made the
breakthrough
to understanding: This is Suffering; Craving is the Cause of
Suffering;
No Craving is the End of Suffering; The 8-fold Way Ends all
Suffering,
as they really are, I will make a final and complete end of all
suffering!
Then this is hopeless, impossible, impracticable, unachievable &
untrue!
Just as if anyone would build the second floor of a house without
first
having build the first floor...
However if anyone should wish: Having made this crucial
breakthrough
to understanding: This is Suffering; Craving is the Cause of
Suffering;
No Craving is the End of Suffering; The 8-fold Way Ends all
Suffering,
as they reallyPS are, I will make a final and complete end of all
suffering!
Then this is realistic, possible, likely, promising, feasible &
realizable!
Just as if one first having build the first floor of a house
easily could
build and add the second floor... Therefore should an effort be
made
to really understand, see, comprehend & realize these 4 Noble
Truths!
Comment:
Many beings embark on raising a metaphysical religious 'Tower'
from,
which they can look proud, yet forgetting all about to making a
solid
foundation first! Result: At first wind this tower tumble & they
fall!
Back to square one again! There is only this ONE way: Noble &
8-fold...
Never give up developing this Way further, deeper, better & purer!
Stay grounded! Pay attention to the facts & truths as they really
are!
