Chapter 9 - Cutting Off The Wheel Of Lives

Here, in order to cut off the stratum of Paticca Samuppada, we must meditate on every link of the wheel and should be fully aware of the eye-base and visible objects as the material qualities and · the eye- consciousness too as the mental quality, but not I or he or she or yours or mine or hers.

In the like manner, we should be fully aware of the pleasant feeling as pleasant feeling, the unpleasant feeling as unpleasant feeling and the neutral feeling as neutral feeling, in their own intrinsic nature, bur not I or he or she or mine or yours or his or hers, and in fact, they also are arising and passing away all the time.

As a result, the feeling can produce non-craving, which, in turn, gives rise to no-grasping, no-new-life- process, no-rebirth, no-old age and no-death.

Thus you will be liberated from all the cyclic endless sufferings of Paticca Samuppada and it is called in Buddhism the Most Supreme Happiness of Nibbana.
