The Practice Which leads to Nibbana - A Buddhist Library

w 160can proceed to do vipassanŒ practice with only khanika samŒdhi(momentary concentration). For this reason let us explain a littleabout the khanika samŒdhi of a suddha vipassanŒ yŒnika individualat the time of attaining citta visuddhi and the khanika samŒdhi presentat the time of true vipassanŒ practice.A samatha yŒnika individual who has developed one of thejhŒnas and therefore completed citta visuddhi (purification of mind)and who wishes to complete diÊÊhi visuddhi (purification of view),should enter into any of the jhŒnas, except for the base consisting ofneither perception nor non perception. After having emerged fromthat jhŒna he should discern the jhŒna factors, beginning with vitakka,etc, and all the mental factors (cetasikas) associated with that jhŒnaconsciousness. Each should be discerned according to characteristic,function, manifestation, and proximate cause. After that, heshould take them all together as nŒma because they all have the characteristicof bending towards the object.Then again he should discern: The hadayavatthu rèpa where thosenŒmas reside, the four elements on which that hadayavatthu rèpadepends, and the other derived materiality present there. All theseshould be discerned according to characteristic, function, manifestation,and proximate cause. (according vsm. XVIII, 3)If however that samatha yŒnika individual wishes to begin withdiscerning rèpa dhammas, without having yet discerned the nŒmadhammas, then he should proceed in the exact same way as a suddhavipassanŒ yŒnika individual. The way in which a suddha vipassanŒyŒnika individual develops diÊÊhi visuddhi is as follows:SuddhavipassŒnŒyŒniko pana ayameva vŒ samathayŒnikocatudhŒtu vavatthŒne vuttŒna× tesa× tesa× dhŒtu pariggahamukhŒna× a––Œtara mukhavasena saºkhepato vŒ vittarato vŒcatasso dhŒtuyo parigganhŒti.
