The Cessation of Suffering
And this, monks, is the noble truth of the cessation of dukkha: the
remainderless fading & cessation, renunciation, relinquishment,
release, & letting go of that very craving.
The cessation of suffering can be attained through nirodha. Nirodha
means the unmaking of sensual craving and conceptual attachment. The third noble truth expresses the idea that suffering can be ended by attaining dispassion.
Nirodha extinguishes all forms of clinging and attachment. This means that
suffering can be overcome through human activity, simply by removing the cause
of suffering. Attaining and perfecting dispassion is a process of many levels
that ultimately results in the state of Nirvana. Nirvana means freedom
from all worries, troubles, complexes, fabrications and ideas. Nirvana is
not comprehensible for those who have not attained it.
