So It Was Said 63

The Book of the Threes

Chapter Two

Periods

iti63:1 This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

iti63:2 “Mendicants, there are these three periods. What three? Past, future, and present. These are the three periods.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

iti63:3 “Sentient beings who perceive the communicable, become established in the communicable. Not understanding the communicable, they fall under the yoke of Death.

iti63:4 But having fully understood the communicable, they don’t conceive a communicator, as they’ve touched liberation with their mind, the supreme state of peace.

iti63:5 Accomplished in the communicable, peaceful, in love with the state of peace; one who makes use after appraisal, firm in principle, a knowledge master cannot be reckoned.”

iti63:6 This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
