Buddha e a Nobre Verdade III, para meu avô.

III
“What is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering? It is the remainderless fading and cessation of that same craving, the rejecting, relinquishing, leaving and renouncing of it. But whereon is this craving abandoned and made to cease? Wherever there is that which seems lovable and gratifying, thereon it is abandoned and made to cease.” (DN 22)

“With the remainderless fading and cessation of ignorance there is cessation of formations; with cessation of formations, cessation of consciousness… with cessation of birth, ageing and death cease, and also sorrow and lamentation, pain, grief and despair; that is how there is a cessation to this whole aggregate mass of suffering. This is called the noble truth of the cessation of suffering.”

~ The Four Noble Truths, Buddha *
