Practices    (Patipatti) Types of Suffering Vipassana Practice   Dukkha Vedana (bodily pain, discomfort)             Rupa                         Sankhara Dukkha (pain that is being changed or cured. This is harder to see than dukkha vedana).                         Dukkha Lakkhana (characteristics)             Nama                          Dukkha Sacca (inherent suffering)                         Dukkha Vedana is ordinary suffering, as felt in the positions. The practitioner should observe dukkha-vedana first, because it is easier to see that suffering in the 4 positions exists all the time. When the practitioner realizes dukkha vedana he will realize nama and rupa are forced by dukkha vedana to change positions all day long.             Sankhara Dukkha is suffering carried into the new position, which must be changed from the old position. It is also all action to maintain the body that must be done all day long, such as blowing the nose, curing hunger, breathing in and out, etc.             Dukkha Lakkhana is the characteristics of rupa and nama. They have the same characteristics as all existence: anicca, dukkha, anatta. This can be realized only through vipassana wisdom. These 3 Characteristics are realized in the 4th yana - Knowledge of Arising and Falling Away.             Dukkha-Sacca is the First of the Noble Truths - the truth of suffering. Dukkha-Sacca is rupa and nama. When dukkha-sacca is realized, the various functions of the 4 Noble Truths are realized.
