What three? Renunciation is the escape from sensual pleasures. Formlessness is the escape from form. Cessation is the escape from whatever is created, conditioned, and dependently originated. These are the three elements of escape.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cKnowing the escape from sensuality, and form\u2019s transcendence, one always keen touches the stilling of all activities. That mendicant sees rightly, and when freed in regards to that, that peaceful sage, with perfect insight, has truly slipped their yoke.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Elements of Escape","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":122}
