Suddenly by the fireplace, the light dawned. And I understood: Everything that is of a nature to arise is of a nature to pass away!
Regarding ALL phenomena it may be said, "Not having been, they come to be; once having been, they cease."
In the ceasing, because they cease, how could these things be considered a permanent self? How could these things produce permanent satisfaction?
So fully letting go, things were known just as they are -- reality was seen just as it is -- and nirvana was glimpsed. Such a thing is good to see! Then there was no doubt whatsoever.
