true freedom – to see that all things that arise must cease.<br />
Once we see this truth, all greed and anger will disappear<br />
because there will be no delusion to support them. The mind<br />
will be forced to give up its misunderstandings. By seeing<br />
the nature of reality over and over again, the mind will<br />
gradually let go of all beliefs contrary to the truth of reality.<br />
The mind will incline away from clinging and find true<br />
freedom within itself, outside of all arisen phenomena.<br />
Whereas in the beginning, the mind would seek to find<br />
permanence, satisfaction, and control, eventually it will give<br />
up this impossible quest and accept that such is not possible,<br />
given the nature of experiential reality. One will realize that,<br />
truly, clinging only leads to suffering, and cease to look for<br />
happiness in external objects that have no ability to bring<br />
true happiness.<br />
This is the path that leads us to become free from all<br />
suffering. I wish all of you the best of fortune on your path. I<br />
hope that you are able to find true insight into the nature of<br />
reality and thereby true peace, happiness and freedom from<br />
suffering.<br />
