Friends:


How is Insight a Power ?


Through reflection on transience the understanding
becomes unshakable by false perception of permanence.

Through reflection on misery the understanding
becomes unshakable by false perception of pleasure.

Through reflection on impersonality the understanding
becomes unshakable by false notion of I-me-mine-Self.

Through reflection on disgust the understanding
becomes unshakable by delight and indulgence.

Through reflection on desillusion the understanding
becomes unshakable by greed, lust, desire & craving.

Through reflection on decay & dissolution the understanding
becomes unshakable by initiation & taking up new.

Through reflection on relinguisment the understanding
becomes unshakable by the clinging of attachment.

Through reflection on these contemplations the understanding
becomes unshakable by uncertainty, doubt & ignorance.

Thus is Insight a transforming Power!
