Preface
In this book, the readers will find the lucid explanation about dana, sila, samatha and vipassana meditation. The methods of contemplation to overcome pain and sufferings (Dukkha Vedana) which especially the beginners in vipassana meditation have much difficulties to master, are also presented with clarity. Furthermore, the way of Kamma, the way of Jhana and the way of Wisdom are explained in such a way for the readers to understand easily.
The meditators should have some knowledge about the stages in the progress of insight while they are practising the vipassana meditation. Therefore, the successive development of vipassana wisdom, according to the stages of insight is expounded in a simple manner so that the readers comprehend them clearly. To encourage the meditators, this book also dealt with the ways to undertake meritorious deeds so as to be saved from apaya, though they are not yet sotapans in this very life.
Moreover, for those striving to be a sotapan in this very life, the conditions to become sotapan, the four constituents for a sotapan are explicitly expounded. In addition to the above mentioned dhamma, how to control the overexcited mind, how to encourage the mind when it is oppressed, how to let it be joyful when necessary and how to establish equanimity when it is to be indifferent, are the essential factors for the meditators to comprehend lucidly. As the vipassana meditation is the work of conscious mind, it is of utmost importance to learn how to subdue and culture the mind in order to achieve the noble dhamma, magga and phala.
