After that discern the arising, standing, and passing awayof all the real rèpas present in the six sense bases and 42 parts ofthe body all at once. The rèpa kalŒpas do not all arise, stand, andpass away simultaneously; they are not in phase.The Time For Contemplating As ÒRèpaÓFirstly discern separately in each of the six sense bases the 54or 44 real rèpas present. Then try also to discern in each as muchof the not real rèpas as you can. Then discern all the rèpas in onebase all together according to their characteristic of being molestedby change. Then taking all the rèpas in each base togethercontemplate them as ÒRèpa, rèpaÓ or ÒThese are rèpaÓ or ÒTheseare rèpa dhammasÓ. You can do the same for each of the 42 partsof the body.
