The Excerpts 16: Recollection of Peace (Upasamanussati)


Impermanent, changing are formation
their nature is arising and ceasing
having arisen they cease
their sitting is bliss

This is peace
this is sublime
that is:
all formations stilled
all substates (of becoming) relinquished
craving destroyed
passionless
cessation
extinction (of craving)

this term simply means "higher Dhamma," and a
systematic attempt to define the Buddha's teachings
and understand their interrelationships. (2) A later
collection of analytical treatises based on lists of
categories drawn from the teachings in the discourses,
added to the Canon several centuries after the
Buddha's life.
