the flashing light of insight, glimpses Nibbàna with such
clearness that the after picture never more fades from his
mind.” ~ DR. PAUL DAHLKE
The Path (Magga) is immediately preceded by two or
three Phalas, which are the Fruits of the Path. This is the
reason why the Dhamma is called ‘akàlika’ (immediately
effective).
Paccavekkhaõa-¤àõa
After the magga-vãthi and a few bhavaïgà-cittas, five
paccavekkhaõa-vãthis normally arise. By these vãthis the
yogi (1) reflects on the Path, (2) reflects on the Fruits,
(3) reflects on the Nibbàna he as realized, (4) reflects on
the defilements he has annihilated and (5) reflects on
the defilements he has yet to annihilate.
The knowledge associated with paccavekkhaõa-javana
cittas is called Paccavekkhaõa-¤àõa.
Sixteen ¥àõas in Series
Up to now the yogi has attained 16 ¤àõas viz., Nàma-råpapariccheda-¤àõa,
Paccaya-pariggaha-¤àõa, ten vipassanà ¤àõas
(Sammasana-¤àõa to Anuloma-¤àõa), Gottrabhu ¤àõa, Magga-¤àõa,
Phala-¤àõa, and Paccavekkhaõa-¤àõa.
7 ¥àõadassana-visuddhi
(Purity of Vision of the knowledge of the four Paths)
The effort to purify the mind stage by stage begins with sãlavisuddhi.
When anuloma-¤àõa is attained, the first six stages are
completed. On attainment of Magga and Phala, the final stage of
purification called ¥àõadassana-visuddhi is reached.
