How to eradicate the view of self and the view of a permanent entity? How to subdue afflictions? How to attain liberation? The path to success lies within this sutra. The core content of this book is to attain the fruition from the first stage to the fourth stage, enter pure Nirvana, and achieve liberation through the cultivation of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness: contemplation of the body as impure, contemplation of feelings as suffering, contemplation of the mind as impermanent, and contemplation of dharmas as devoid of self. During the practice, as long as one maintains unwavering focus on contemplating the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, over time and with deepening effort, one will surely eradicate the view of self, realize the fruition of liberation, thereby severing the three fetters and all afflictions, untying the bonds of birth and death that have bound us throughout countless kalpas, never again falling into the three evil realms, nor suffering the pains of the six paths of rebirth. This book provides profound and precise explanations, sufficient to serve as a guide for the vast community of Buddhist practitioners in actual cultivation, contemplation, and eradication of the view of self. By practicing according to its teachings, not only will meditative concentration deepen progressively, the skill in contemplation will grow more profound, and wisdom will become increasingly subtle and refined, enabling the simultaneous cultivation of calm abiding and insight. Attaining the fruition will then no longer be a difficult matter.
