28. 28 The 4 th Ultimate-Truth Nibbàna OR Unconditioned Element (Asaïkhata-dh  tu = Asaïkhata-Nibb  na )

29. 29 NIRVANA Nirvana is combination of 2 words Nir = departure Vana = craving Nibbana is departure from craving

30. 30 3 Types of Nibb ā na 1. Uncondition Element ( Asaïkhata-dh  tu = Asaïkhata-Nibb  na ) which is the 4 th Ultimate-Truth 2. Nibbāna with remainder of aggreates (Sa-up  disesa-Nibb  na) 3. Nibbāna without remainder of aggreates (Anup  disesa-Nibb  na)

31. 31 1.Uncondition Element ( Asaïkhata-dh  tu = Asaïkhata-Nibb  na ) It is the Third Noble Truth, the Noble Truth of cessation of suffering (Nirodha-Saccā). It is supramundane, that is, beyond the world of mind-and- matter or the five aggregates of clinging. It is the extinction of all greed, hatred, and delusion, and is the state of final deliverance from the suffering inherent in conditioned existence. It is unconditioned dhamma (asa  khata dhamma). It is not conditioned by any cause. Hence it is not subject to any becoming, change of state, and dissolution. It is permanent, happiness, and not-self. It is the object of the four Paths (magga) and four Fruitions (phala).

32. 32  When one’s insight knowledge becomes matured by contemplating, either, anicca, dukkha, or anatta of formations (sa  kh  ra), one attains Nibb  na.  At that time, the cognitive process of supramundane stream-entry path (sot  patti magga v  thi) runs as follows:

33. 33 Sotāpanna FIRST ATTAINMENT OF PATH AND FRUITION In Path and Fruition Mind moments, mental formations = 34 + 3 Abstinences (Right Speech + Right Action + Right livelihood) = 37 MAVPrAcCnChPaFr B…… Object: either impermanent, suffering, or non-self nature of formations Object: NIBB â NA

34. 34 1)preparation (parikamma), which prepares the mental continuum for the attainment of Path consciousness 1)access (upacāra), which arises in proximity to the attainment of Path consciousness 1)conformity (anuloma), which harmonizes the preceding moments with the subsequent attainment of the Path. After this, one’s consciousness no longer enters into or settles down on any field of formations 1)change-of-lineage (gotrabhu) arises, which takes as its object the signless, the non-occurrence, the cessation (Nibbāna) which passes out of the lineage of worldlings (puthujjana) and enters into the lineage of the Noble Ones (Ariya).

35. 35 FIRST ATTAINMENT OF PATH AND FRUITION MAVPrAcCnChPaFr B…… PENETRATE INTO THE 4 NOBLE TRUTHS 1.Understand the Truth of Suffering 2.Abandon the Origin of the Truth of Suffering 3.Realizing the Cessation of Suffereing 4.Developing the Noble Eightfold Path WHOLESOME CONSCIOUSNESS Function – to eradicate defilements, such as the 3 fetters: 1.Personality view 2.Clinging to rites and rituals in the belief that they can lead to Nibbāna 3.Doubt about the Triple Gem RESULTANT CONSCIOUSNESS Function – to experience the liberation after eradiction of defilements:

36. 36 The 5 Aggregates of Clinging = The Truth of Suffering 1.Aggregate of Materiality 2.Aggregate of Feeling 3.Aggregate of Perception 4.Aggregate of Formation 5.Aggregate of Consciousness First Noble Truth should be fully known

37. 37 Stream-entry path consciousness permanently uproots three fetters: 1.Personality View. He no longer considers the five aggregates as I, mine, or myself. 2. Attachment to Rites and Rituals. Such as the practice of imitating the behaviour of cows and dogs, various forms of torturing the body such as sleeping on thorns etc., thinking that the practice will purify the defilements and lead to escape from the rounds of rebirth. 3. Doubt. Doubt towards the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha (Triple Gem).

38. 38 The benefits of attaining First Path and Fruition Knowledge (Sot  panna) 1.Closes the doors to the Four Woeful States. 2.Shortens the suffering in the begin-less rounds of rebirth. 3.Assurance of seven rebirths before final enlightenment. 4.Possession of the Seven Noble Treasures. 1.Confidence 2.Morality 3.Shame of wrongdoing 4.Fear of wrongdoing 5.Learning 6.Generosity 7.Insight Knowledge or wisdom

39. 39 Sotāpanna ATTAINMENT OF FRUITION MAVPrAcCnPuFr B…… Object: either impermanent, suffering, or non-self nature of formations Object: NIBB â NA …… Pu = purification

40. 40 3 doors to emancipation If one contemplates anicca of formations ( sa  kh  ra ) and realizes Nibb  na, it is called contemplation of the sign less (animitttànupassan ā ). If one contemplates dukkha of formations ( sa  kh  ra ) and realizes Nibb  na, it is called contemplations of the desire less (appaõihitànupassanà). If one contemplates anatta of formations ( sa  kh  ra ) and realizes Nibb  na, it is called contemplation of the void (su¤¤atànupassanà).

41. 41 2. Sa-upādisesa-Nibb  na It is the effect of Arahant Path knowledge which realizes the Asaïkhata-Nibb  na ( Asaïkhata-dh  tu) It is also called Kilesa-Parinibb ā na (the cessation of defilements)

42. 42 3. Anup  disesa-Nibb  na It is the effect of Arahant Path knowledge which realizes the Asaïkhata-Nibb  na ( Asaïkhata-dh  tu) It is also called Khanda-Parinibb  na (the cessation of aggregates)
