If there were no freedom from rebirth, freedom from what has been produced, made, and conditioned, then you would find no escape here from rebirth, from what has been produced, made, and conditioned. But since there is freedom from rebirth, freedom from what has been produced, made, and conditioned, an escape is found from rebirth, from what has been produced, made, and conditioned.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cWhat\u2019s reborn, produced, and arisen, made, conditioned, not lasting, wrapped in old age and death, frail, a nest of disease, whose inception is the leash to food: that\u2019s not fit to delight in. The escape from that is peaceful, beyond the scope of logic, everlasting, where nothing is reborn or arisen, the sorrowless, stainless state, the cessation of all painful things, the blissful stilling of conditions.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Free of Rebirth","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":185}
