3. The Practice <strong>of</strong> Right Concentration (sammāsamādhi) <strong>of</strong><br />

the Three Supra-mundane Levels related to the Trai-sikkhā<br />

ikkhā<br />

3.1 The level <strong>of</strong> practice <strong>of</strong> Right Concentration (sammsamdhi) according to the system <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Trai-sikkh related to the 15 Caraas and 8 Vijjs.<br />

Out <strong>of</strong> the great compassion, the Lord Buddha revealed the Path <strong>of</strong> Liberation from all<br />

suffering which is the Supra-mundane spiritual development <strong>of</strong> man that puries the mind from<br />

causes <strong>of</strong> suffering i.e., delement, (kilesa) craving (tah), clinging (updna) and ignorance<br />

(avijj) <strong>of</strong> the Four Noble Truths through the Trai-sikkh, i.e., sla, samdhi, and paññ which need<br />

to be further developed to the Trai-sikkh <strong>of</strong> the Adhi-level which belongs to more advanced levels.<br />

Having consecutively diminished the delement (kilesa), craving (tah), and clinging (updna) to<br />

the nal state <strong>of</strong> the Trai-sikkh, the level <strong>of</strong> Asekha, (further training is no longer required) as it is<br />

the result <strong>of</strong> success in practice. Being freed from the rened kilesa, the anusaya-sava, especially<br />

when avijjsava is completely uprooted, the cankers <strong>of</strong> ignorance (avijjsamyojana) is crossed over,<br />

the fruit <strong>of</strong> Arahat enlightenment is clearly step-by-step harvested with the body <strong>of</strong> knowledge <strong>of</strong> 15<br />

Caraas and 8 Vijjs. The result <strong>of</strong> the Supramundane is gradually increasing along the way until<br />

the Supramundane Output is fully reached.<br />

See the diagram illustrating the relation between 15 Caraas and 8 Vijjs related to the<br />

Trai-sikkh’s accumulated output <strong>of</strong> the Supra-mundane, resulting in the four types <strong>of</strong> the Noble<br />

People consecutively.<br />
