Dhamma Padaya Marga Waggaya

Five hundred monks who meditate about ‘Suffering’

Dhamma Padaya – Marga Waggaya

When a person starts to contemplate wisely and consciously, at some point, he realises that the clingings and conflicts created by him, grasping as ‘I-Mine-My soul’, have brought him only suffering.
Simultaneously he realises that the nature of impermanence and capriciousness of his loved ones and possessions and his erratic willingness and reluctance also cause him only suffering.

“Although I don’t like sorrow, all my possessions and loved ones that I grasped as ‘I-mine-my soul’ bring me misery,
Then how can I say that they are ‘I-mine-my soul’?

Contemplating wisely in this way, he becomes frustrated with all that is attached, grasping ‘I – mine – my soul’.
That kind of frustration is what leads him to ‘Nirwana’.
