Friends:
The Entrance is a phase transition of consciousness!
The Last Relinquishment:
When ignorance of the 4 Noble Truths finally fully evaporates,
Then one no longer clings to any pleasure, one no longer clings to any views,
One does not any longer cling to any rule, ritual or to any idea of a self...
When one does not cling, one is not agitated! One becomes imperturbable...
In complete absence of agitation, one attains the state of Nibbāna!
One understands: This Rebirth is ended, the Noble life has been completed,
What had to be done is done, there is no relapsing into any state of being...
