The Practice Which leads to Nibbana - A Buddhist Library

w 126When a mind is a samatha, vipassanŒ, magga or phala citta then it iscapable of producing many generations of cittaja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpaswithin the body and the utu in these can produce utuja ojŒ aÊÊhamakakalŒpas both inside and outside of the body. Light is the brilliance ofcolour of the vaööa rèpa in these cittaja kalŒpas and utuja kalŒpas.As shown above in the eye, in every utuja aÊÊhamaka kalŒpa producedfrom the utu or fire element, whether it be kammaja fire element,cittaja fire element, utuja fire element, or ŒhŒraja fire element, there isalso ojŒ present. This utuja ojŒ can, with the assistance of ŒhŒraja ojŒ,produce ten or twelve generations of rèpa kalŒpas. (See vsm.subcom.p.403)Also the fire element, utu, contained in the ŒhŒraja ojŒ aÊÊhamakakalŒpas is capable of producing many utuja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpas.The way in which ŒhŒraja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpas are produced fromfood eaten and spread to be present in the eye has already been explainedabove. The ojŒ in these is called ŒhŒraja ojŒ. When the ŒhŒraja ojŒ of aprevious ŒhŒraja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpa is given assistance by the ŒhŒrajaojŒ of a later ŒhŒraja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpa it can produce many or fewgenerations of rèpa kalŒpas. This depends on the quality of the foodand strength of the digestive fire element. In these ŒhŒraja ojŒ aÊÊhamakakalŒpas there is also fire element which is utu, and this can producemany new utuja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpas.When utu or ojŒ produce new kalŒpas as described above they do itwhen they reach their standing phase only. In the production of rèpakalŒpas whether it be for two, three, ten, or twelve generations, the lastgeneration contains utu and ojŒ which cannot produce new utujakalŒpas and ŒhŒraja kalŒpas.You should read through this description of the production ofkalŒpas carefully and look also at the following charts. Then by havinga proper teacher and practising systematically you will becomeproficient in the discernment of the kalŒpas produced by the four causesof kamma, citta, utu, and ŒhŒra. In the same way as has been shown inthe case of the eye base you should discern all the rèpas in the otherfive bases and also the forty-two parts of the body (Which will beexplained after the following charts).
