What three? Past, future, and present. These are the three periods.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cSentient beings who perceive the communicable, become established in the communicable. Not understanding the communicable, they fall under the yoke of Death. But having fully understood the communicable, they don\u2019t conceive a communicator, as they\u2019ve touched liberation with their mind, the supreme state of peace. Accomplished in the communicable, peaceful, in love with the state of peace; one who makes use after appraisal, firm in principle, a knowledge master cannot be reckoned.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Periods","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":130}
