The 10 WAYS for achieving it…
—
There are 10 worlds or planes of existence, the first 6 are in samsara, while the other 4 are above it and without rebirth, that is why they are also called the deathless.

How can one get to those 4 upper worlds void of any suffering caused by rebirth ?

From my humble understanding there are different possibilities, according to each one’s nature and/or karma and/or right view/effort/resolve :

1. Listening to a Dhamma talk on the 4 Noble Truths (Stream-Entry)

2. Understanding the Dhamma through the right evaluation of Anatta (Dhamma-Eye)

3. Training rightly in the 4 foundations of mindfulness (Samadhi-Bhavana)

4. Using right discernment of the Dhamma, i.e. : Sampajanna (Khippabinna)

5. Achieving any of the 4 Noble States through absorption or the liberation of heart (Brahmavihara-Bhavana)

6. Right resolve/resolution concerning the future, both in human life as wife/son of a next Buddha for example or willingly choosing one of the upper worlds destinations (i.e. : Arahant, Bodhisattva, Buddha)

7. Visiting Thusita and choosing it as next destination after the present human existence (Bodhisattva)

8. Hiding from karma by its understanding/seed and by the right handling of intentions, in order not to be seen anymore by both Mara and Yama after human death (being Astute)

9. Empathy based on gratitude, kind love and compassion, opening the gates of the spiritual path (Monks & Savakas)

10. Boundless love, overcoming duality and any conceit linked to a self (Pacekkabuddhas)

In my very limited knowledge, each one of the above 10 WAYS is valid/effective for ending forever the suffering of Samsara.

The only difference is the time needed in achieving the goal, if in the present exsistence or if more rebirths are needed.

Anyone seeing & wishing to end the suffering of Samara, should choose the one matching more his own nature, in order to step on ‘the path of the unshakable happiness’. 🙏✨🙏
