Practices
(Patipatti)
The
Sixteen Yanas |
| |
| 13.
Gottarabhu-nana (Purity
of the knowledge and vision of the way of progress) |
| |
| This
is the wisdom that occurs in maggavitthi,
which is the path of the citta
that goes to Magga-nana (the
14th yana). This yana
is different from other yanas in
that, while nibbana is the object
(supramundane), the mind (citta)
is still mundane. Rupa and nama
have been abandoned, but it is not completely supramundane
yet (lokkuttara). In the previous
yana, both mind and object are mundane. |
| The
wisdom of the citta (mind) in
this yana changes the yogi from
puttujjana (worldling) to ariya-pugghala
(noble one). It is the first citta
in samsara-vata to have nibbana
as an object. Even though nibbana
is the object, this yana cannot
destroy kilesa completely (samuched). |
| Aachan
Naeb said that this yana
is like a new worker, who isn’t completely familiar with his
job yet – and that is why this yana
cannot destroy kilesa
completely |
