Buddhist-Meditation-Systematic-and-Practical

a. Human yana
One does not meditate but practices some good during
life (such as the Five Precepts of Buddhist lay people)
and as a result receives human rebirth.
b. Heavenly yana
This is of two kinds: first, with the practice of many
good deeds and a little meditation (such as practicing
the Eight Special Laypeople's Precepts) one attains after
death to the heavenly pleasure realm (kamavacara), a
state only somewhat superior to man; second, by
practice of the dhyanas, one reaches at death to the
corresponding spontaneous rebirth among the devas of
form and formlessness (rupavacara and arupavacara).
c. Sravakayana
This is the way to attain the Arhat level, which can only
be realized by the meditation on the Four Noble Truths.
d. Pratyekabuddhayana
To become a Solitary Buddha, it is necessary to
penetrate with insight the meaning of the Twelve Links
of Dependent Origination.
e. Bodhisattvayana
