Acquisition of Fuel ... !!!

[Guest guest]

Friends:

Continuation and Prolongation of Misery:

Friends, whoever recluse or priest now, in the past, or in the

future regard whatever pleasant and attractive, there is in this

world as permanent, as lasting, as happiness, as self, as healthy,

as secure, they thereby all stimulate craving! Stimulating craving

they long, thirsts and hankers, thereby inducing acquisition of

sense desires, acquisition of mental defilements, acquisition of

intentions, hopes, wishes and planning, and acquisition of the 5

clusters of clinging! By nurturing uptake of these acquisitions of

fuel for becoming, fuel for existence, they provoking continuation!

Thus provoking prolongation, they are not freed from birth, ageing,

and death! They are not released from sorrow, depression, despair,

misery, pain, frustration, discontent & hopelessness. I tell you:

They are not freed from neither present nor future suffering...!!!

But friends, whoever recluse or priest now, in the past, or in the

future regard whatever pleasant and attractive, there is in this

world as impermanent, as transient, as suffering, as no-self, as a

disease, as danger, as fearful, as an empty terror, they thereby

all reduce craving. When thus having gradually wholly eliminated

all craving, I tell you: They are thereby freed from all Suffering...
