Page 183 - Extinguishment of Self
P. 183

This process goes round round and and and round round with no no no beginning and and and no no no end If we we do do not not contemplate the the the the the Law of of the the the the the Trilaksana and and and the the the the the Truth if if we we do do not not humbly take in in in the the the the the the Teachings of of the the the the the the Buddha as our our refuge our our reminder—then it it will be difficult for us to sever this this cycle When it it is is is is is is stated in in in in this this way perhaps we we we think that that dhamma is is is is is something that that is is is is is very distant What can we we we do if we we we have no time to to practice (dhamma)? In fact whether at at at at at the the the temple or at at at at at home if if if we we we can can elevate our mind mind into an an an an an an emptiness if if if we we we can can make the the the the mind mind mind unburdened and and more expansive than the the the the physical body body if if if we we we experience that that that the the the the mind mind and and the the the the body body are are separate—Then that that that is is is the the the practice of dhamma Those are are are natural conditions that that that can emerge right at at at at at at at this this present They are are not distant at at at at at at at all Just now I said that impacts-sensations-desires-attachments revolve like this this this with no end Then how do we we sever this this cycle?
