At one time, when he was first awakened, the Buddha was staying in Uruvel\u0101 at the root of the tree of awakening on the bank of the Nera\u00f1jar\u0101 River. There the Buddha sat cross-legged for seven days without moving, experiencing the bliss of freedom. When seven days had passed, the Buddha emerged from that state of immersion. In the second part of the night, he carefully applied the mind to dependent origination, going against the grain: \u201cSo, when this doesn\u2019t exist, this doesn\u2019t come to be; due to the cessation of this, this ceases. That is: When ignorance ceases, choices cease. When choices cease, consciousness ceases. When consciousness ceases, name and form cease. When name and form cease, the six sense fields cease. When the six sense fields cease, contact ceases. When contact ceases, feeling ceases. When feeling ceases, craving ceases. When craving ceases, grasping ceases. When grasping ceases, continued existence ceases. When continued existence ceases, rebirth ceases. When rebirth ceases, old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress cease. That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.\u201d Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment: \u201cWhen things become clear to the keen, meditating brahmin, his doubts are dispelled, since he\u2019s known the end of conditions.\u201d","title":"Upon Awakening (2nd)","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":218}
