"Knowing that ... is ..." may not be appropriate.Sarva wrote:It appears that the end of suffering can be explained as knowing that "the seen is merely what is seen" and one is not "with that".
Why?
Because it reads "you should train yourself thus" which means to condition oneself or to cultivate a view. So it is not a description of a sort of "how it really is" that could be known and that by knowing this there would be "unbinding" but it is a mental cultivation that may lead to a kind of "(non-)perception" that is not described here.
If "final" perception would be as it is decribed than it would be conditioned by training and most likely this could not be called "unbinding" or "nibbana".
The statement "This, just this, is the end of stress" in the context of this training therefore can only refer to a temporary result.
