Vipassana Kammatthana.pdf

ala can be fulfilled by meditating vipassanå in any one of the methods then why did Buddha t
aught in many methods, without teaching just one method?
The answer is that Buddha taught with the purpose to liberate the three types of beings. The
three types of beings ready to be liberated vary as below:
a.1 RËpasammˬhå = beings who are deluded on rËpa.
a.2 ArËpasammˬhå = beings who are deluded on nåma.
a.3 Ubhayasammˬhå = beings who are deluded on both nåma and rËpa.
b.1 Tikkhindriyå = beings with sharp faculty.
b.2 Majjhimindriyå = beings with average faculty, neither sharp nor inadequate.
b.3 Mudindriyå = beings with inadequate faculty.
c.1 Sa◊khittaruc¥ = beings who prefer the brief method.
c.2 Majjhimaruc¥ = beings who prefer the medium method, neither brief nor detailed.
c.3 Vitthåraruc¥ = beings who prefer the detailed method.
Buddha taught the dhamma in various ways to liberate these three types of beings.
1.
Buddha taught vipassanå meditation by 5 khandha method in teachings such as anattal
akkhaˆa sutta to liberate persons who are:
a. ArËpasammˬhå persons who are deluded on nåma dhammas.
b. Tikkhindriyå persons who have sharp faculty.
c. Sa◊khittaruc¥ persons who prefer the brief method.
2. Vipassanå meditation through 12 åyatana method was taught to liberate:
a. RËpasammˬhå persons who are deluded on rËpa dhammas.
b. Majjhimindriyå persons who have average faculty.
c. Majjhimaruc¥ persons who prefer medium method.
3. Vipassanå meditation through 18 dhåtu method was taught to liberate:
a. Ubhayasammˬhå persons who are deluded on both rËpa and nåma.
b. Mudindriyå persons who have inadequate faculty.
c. Vitthåraruc¥ persons who prefer detailed method.
Vipassanå meditation by means of indriya was taught so that one can easily discern the ana
tta characteristic.
Only if the meditator realize himself penetratively by sammådi hi insight/wisdom the follo
wing four points;
1. Pavatti = arising of five upådånakkhandhå, the dukkhasaccå,
2. Pavattihetu = the cause of the dukkhasaccå,
3. Nivatti = cessation of the dukkhasaccå and smudayasaccå,
4. Nivattihetu =
the practice leading to the cessation of the dukkhasaccå and samudayas
accå,
then the various vipassanå meditation above can produce the benefits which are magga, ph
ala, nibbåna. As those who do not realize these four points themselves penetratively by samm
ådi hi insight, cannot attain the benefits magga, phala, nibbåna, Buddha taught vipassanå me
ditation related to the saccådesanå method and pa iccasamuppåda method with the purpose th
at one realizes them.
TAKE NOTE
There are four types of paramattha which are citta, cetasika, rËpa, nibbåna. Among them citta,
cetasika, rËpa paramatthas are anicca paramattha, dukkha paramattha, anatta paramattha. Nib
båna is nicca paramattha, sukha paramattha, anatta paramattha.
