Guest guest Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Friends: What are the components of the primary problem: Suffering ? At Savatthi. While seated, the Venerable Radha asked the Blessed One:Venerable Sir, one says: Suffering!! What, Venerable Sir, is suffering?Form, Radha, is suffering, feeling is suffering, perception is suffering, mental constructions are suffering, consciousness is suffering... !!!Understanding this, Bhikkhus, a well instructed Noble Disciple experiences disgust towards form, disgust towards feeling, disgust towards perception, disgust towards mental construction, & disgust towards consciousness itself! Experiencing disgust, he becomes disillusioned! Through disillusion his mind is released. When it is released, one instantly knows: This mind is liberated, and one understands: Extinguished is birth, this Noble Life is all completed, done is what should be done, there is no state of being beyond this...
