Friends:
The Twin Truths
won by keen Dual Consideration:

The
blessed Buddha once said:
Friends,
the first consideration is:
Whatever
Suffering arises, all this Suffering does so caused by
Feeling!
Another consequent consideration is:
By ending all Feeling, there cannot therefore ever
arise any Suffering!
Repeatedly
seeing both pleasant, painful & neutral feeling all fade away,
and
instantly vanish in each moment, one is freed for passion for feeling!
By
quenching craving for feeling one becomes all cool & quite
calmed...
Considering these twin truths cautiously, resolutely &
enthusiastically,
one may either enter the state of Nibbāna right here &
now in this life,
or if there is lasting traces of clinging left, the state
of a non-returner...
Those who neglect understanding Feeling, the origin of
Feeling, the End
of Feeling, & how Feeling is completely eliminated, are
thus incapable of
release by understanding, are thus incapable of mental
release, are thus
incapable of direct knowledge, and are thus incapable of
making an end...
They repeat birth, ageing, decay, sickness & death ever
again...
While those who undertake understanding of Feeling, Origin, End
& Way,
are quite capable of mental release by understanding, &
capable of making
an end... They are near the deathless
dimension!

Feeling entails
Suffering!
Have
