The Practice Which leads to Nibbana - A Buddhist Library

note that the fire element or the ojŒ in a rèpa kalŒpa is capable ofproducing new rèpas.There is also mind produced fire element which is utu. When anormal sensual world mind causes the production of cittaja ojŒaÊÊhamaka kalŒpas these also contain fire element which is utu. Thisutu can also produce utuja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpas (first generationfrom mind produced fire element). These utuja ojŒ aÊÊhamakakalŒpas also contain fire element which can produce a further generationof utuja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpas. This process can carry on fortwo or three generations.The minds present during the practice of preliminary, access,and absorption concentration in samatha meditation, or during thepractice of vipassanŒ; and the path and fruition minds are all capableof producing cittaja rèpas. These cittaja rèpas contain fire elementwhich is utu which can produce many generations of ojŒ aÊÊhamakakalŒpas not only internally but externally too. Depending onwhether the power of understanding is great or little, or dependingon the power of concentration these rèpa kalŒpas are produced inlarge or small number spreading out from the body.(See vsm.sub-com.2.p.428,429,403).This process of multiplication and production of rèpa kalŒpasoccurs only when the fire element, utu, has reached its standingphase (thiti kŒla).These cittaja rèpa kalŒpas also contain ojŒ and when this receivesassistance from ŒhŒra ojŒ it is capable of producing many generationsof ojŒ aÊÊhamaka ŒhŒraja kalŒpas, but these arise only inside the bodyand not externally.The ŒhŒraja rèpa kalŒpas that will be mentioned below containalso fire element that is utu. When this utu reaches its standing phaseit can produce many generations of utuja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpas. Itw 123
