The reasons for sufferings are attachments
But
the cessation of suffering is attainable
Directing
ones life towards enlightenment
Following
Noble Eightfold Path to fulfilment!
Right View for Wisdom
Right Intention towards Freedom
Right Speech for Ethical Conduct
Right Action towards self evolution
Right Livelihood for peaceful mission
Right Effort for Mental Development
Right Mindfulness for universal vision
Right Concentration for Nibbana/Nirvana/salvation!
Adhering to The
Precepts abstaining from (abstainance)
Harming living
beings
Taking things
not given freely
Sexual
misconduct leading to adultery
False speech
that pollutes trust and justice
Intoxicating
drinks and drugs causing heedlessness
Taking
untimely meals that toxicise human body
Erotic dancing,
singing, music and watching grotesque mime
Use of
garlands, perfumes, and personal adornment
Use of high
seats that encourage domination
Accepting gold
or silver that induces self gratification!
Can certainly
steer ones life on Earth
Towards fruitfulness
without harming self and others
Lessening
social and natural sufferings of this birth
And sharing
the fruits of self-enlightenment around!
(Adapted from The Word of the
Buddha, Niyamatolika, The Buddhist Publication Society, 1971, p xii)
