When consciousness is neither scattered nor diffused externally, nor stuck internally, and they are not anxious because of grasping, there is no coming to be of the origin of suffering\u2014of rebirth, old age, and death in the future.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cFor one who has given up seven chains, a mendicant who has cut the cord, transmigration through births is finished, there\u2019ll be no more future lives for them.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Examination","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":138}
