The Crucible Of Dhamma: The Universal Laws Of Living

Enraptured with lust enraged with anger (dosa) blinded by delusion (moha) overwhelmed with mind ensnared man aims at his own ruin at the ruin of others at the ruin of both and he experiences mental pain and grief. But if lust anger and delusion are given up man aims neither at his own ruin nor at the ruin of others nor at the ruin of both and he experiences no mental pain and grief. Thus is Nibb?na visible in this life immediate inviting attractive and comprehensible to the wise. - Gotama Buddha Dhamma is the liberating law which was discovered and proclaimed by the Buddha and summed up in the Four Noble Truths. Without a deep insight into the impermanence and insubstantiality of all things there can be no attainment of deliverance. In The Crucible of Dhamma the author ruminates over her own Dhamma journey and realizes through an understanding of the many realities that are hidden within our subconscious selves that we have the choice to be fettered but we are really free.
