"Buddha summarised his entire teaching in one sentence, namely: "nothing whatsoever should be clung to"

that is absolutely 100% wrong as well


Sarcophagus

you are not a Buddhist. you are a Hindu that covets other religions

all the best



A bhikkhu (lit: 'one who sees the danger') has heard that nothing is worth clinging to. When a bhikkhu has heard that nothing is worth clinging to, he directly knows everything; having directly known everything, he fully understands everything; having directly known everything, he fully understood everything, whatever feeling he feels, whether pleasant or painful or neither pleasant or painful, he abides contemplating (observing) impermanence in those feelings, contemplating (observing) fading away, contemplating (observing) cessation, contemplating (observing) relinquishment (letting go). Contemplating (observing) thus, he does not cling to anything in the world. When he does not cling, he is not agitated, he personally attains Nibbana. He understands: ‘[Ego] Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, there is no more coming to any state of becoming.’

Briefly, it is in this way, ruler of gods, that a bhikkhu is liberated in the destruction of craving, one who has reached the ultimate end, the ultimate security from bondage, the ultimate holy life, the ultimate goal, one who is foremost among gods and humans.
