one cannot escape from sa◊saradukkha without realizing distinguishably all five upåd<br />

ånakhandha (nåma-rËpa) by three pariññåpañña.<br />

Another point is that one must take note that if one discern the four elements and åkåsa exis<br />

ting in that transparent mass, rËpakalåpa can soon be seen again.<br />

Note:<br />

In vipassanå meditation on rËpa, meditate vipassanå also on non-living rËpa ca<br />

VIPASSANÓ MEDITATION ON NÓMA<br />

After one is quite satisfied with his vipassanå meditation on rËpa, switch to meditate vipassan<br />

å on nåma. It is better to switch to meditate vipassanå on nåma after being able to meditate vi<br />

passanå on rËpa proficiently and thoroughly.<br />

As nåma were discerned according to åyatanadvåra at the stage of discerning nåma, begin v<br />

ipassanå meditation on nåma according to åyatanadvåra. Taking as object the nature of "arisin<br />

g then perished away" of the associate mental states (sampayuttadhamma) which accompany<br />

v¥thi mind moment and the bhava∫ga<br />

mind moment that exist in between v¥thi, meditate as "anicca, anicca ...". Meditate on a<br />

ll types of kusalajavana v¥thi and akusalajavana v¥thi such as cakkhudvåra v¥thi, both internall<br />

y and externally. Firstly beginning<br />

from the near, meditate on internal and external alternately for many times. When it becomes<br />

powerful, extending it gradually, meditate internally and externally on 31 realms until infinite<br />

universe as a whole for many times repeatedly. If one is satisfied with meditating on anicca c<br />

haracteristic, then similarly meditate as "dukkha, dukkha ..." repeatedly after having taken as<br />

object the nature of being oppressed by constant arising and perishing away in these nåma. Al<br />

so if satisfied with the meditation on dukkha characteristic meditate as "anatta, anatta ...", afte<br />

r having taken as object the nature of the absence of an indestructible essence atta in nåma. M<br />

editate on all types of wholesome group of kusalajavana and unwholesome group of akusalaja<br />

vana in all six lines such as rËpårammaˆa line, in both internal and external. In meditating on<br />

nåma like that, meditate on the whole v¥thi process (as shown in nåma kamma håna tables) o<br />

f the following;<br />

1. Cakkhudvårav¥thi, manodvårav¥thi which take rËpårammaˆa as object<br />

2. Sotadvårav¥thi, manodvårav¥thi which take saddårammaˆa as object<br />

3. Ghånadvårav¥thi, manodvårav¥thi which take gandhårammaˆa as object<br />

4. Jivhådvårav¥thi, manodvårav¥thi which take rasårammaˆa as object<br />

5. Kåyadvårav¥thi, manodvårav¥thi which take pho habbårammaˆa as object<br />

6. Manodvårav¥thi which take dhammårammaˆa as object.<br />

IF THE MEDITATOR IS A SAMATHAYÓNIKA PERSON<br />

If the meditator is a samathayånika person, it is better to meditate vipassanå beginning with n<br />

åma of the jhånasamåpattiv¥thi which he has attained. For example: Enter into first jhåna. Aft<br />
