The
Sixteen Yanas |
| |
| 9.
Munnacittukammayata-nana (Knowledge
of the Desire for Deliverance) |
| |
| Realizing
danger and peril from the seventh yana,
and disgust from the eighth, the yogi
becomes filled with a desire for deliverance from rupa
and nama. It is like someone
who is in a jail and wishes every moment to escape |
| |
|
| The
sixth, seventh and eighth yana
are related, with each one becoming stronger. Knowledge of
fearfulness leads to knowledge of danger, knowledge of danger
leads to knowledge of disgust, which leads to knowledge of
desire for deliverance. This yana
(ninth) then leads to nibbana.
Desire for deliverance results in more earnestness in practice,
in order to reach nibbana. |
