When
the Buddha speaks of the end of dukkha,
he is not simply talking about
being in a good mood.
The radical, uncompromising freedom of nibbana
is
not dependent on conditions being favorable;
it’s not dependent on
conditions at all.
This deeper freedom, the end of craving,
comes
through a profound inner shift of understanding,
in which the strongly
held view of self is purified
through the experience of what is
unconditioned, unborn.
~Joseph Goldsten
