Advanced Thai Conversation (Nibbana Topic) : Look back in another way
Thai Language (NIBBANA Topic) : ธรรมทาน ๑๗ Look back in another way
If we were to look back in another way, we would be able to see that mental defilement (kilesa) or suffering (dukkha) would not be able to secure a place in such a condition like 'nibbana'. Therefore it is recognised that 'nibbana' is not something which mental defilement and suffering can take roots in Insteed it in their place of extinction.
Take a look in another way : when the mind is composed of wisdom (panna), it percieves the state of 'nibbana' , take it as the object of contemplation and it is finally led to regret its delusion in the past, paving the way for the drying up of all mental defilements (carving) and then is followed by the cessation of suffering. Thus 'nibbana' is the tool for extinguishing desires and sufferings.
From : 'Nibbana' Buddhadasa Bhikkhu
