Threefold Vimokkha (Three Ways of Emancipation)<br />

‘Vimokkha’ means ‘emancipation, liberation or deliverance’. It<br />

refers to the emancipation from the entanglement of nàma-råpa,<br />

i.e. from the round of rebirth or the saüsàra of misery.<br />

Here ‘vimokkha’ stands for magga-phala (the Path and its<br />

Fruition) which has emancipated from defilements (kilesas).<br />

1 Su¤¤ata-vimokkha – emancipation through the concept<br />

of void by anattànupassana.<br />

‘Su¤¤ata – void or emptiness’ here means the<br />

absence of ‘atta’ or ‘self’ or any permanent entity in<br />

nàma-råpa and the five aggregates of existence. The yogi<br />

who practises anattànupassana realizes this concept of<br />

void, and if he attains emancipation while practising<br />

anattànupassana his magga-phala or emancipation is<br />

known as ‘Su¤¤ata-vimokkha’.
