To all or none, The text that will follow ,I received today by a Sri-Lankan Bhikkhu. Friends:What Causes the Conditioned End of Suffering?What is Dependent Co-Cessation? Cut short: When this cause is absent, that effect too is non-existent. When this condition ceases, that phenomenon too fades away.In quite profound Detail: The fading away of Ignorance causes Mental Construction to cease. The fading away of Mental Construction causes Consciousness to cease. The fading away of Consciousness causes Name-&-Form to cease. The fading away of Name-&-Form causes The 6 Senses to cease. The fading away of The 6 Senses causes Contact to cease. The fading away of Contact causes Feeling to cease. The fading away of Feeling causes Craving to cease. The fading away of Craving causes Clinging to cease. The fading away of Clinging causes Becoming to cease. The fading away of Becoming causes Birth to cease. The fading away of Birth causes Ageing, Decay & Death to cease. The fading away of Ageing, Decay & Death causes Pain to cease... Such is the Complete Ceasing of this entire immense mass of Suffering! This is called the Right Way ... It is much deeper, than it initially appears! This is Dependent Co-Cessation! Breaking the Chain of detrimental Events! To some this might be a harsh text,this text is from a purist Theravadin. However ,I am in total agreement with Bhikkhu Samahita. Comments ! _/\_ loongdragon
