Vipassana
How
Bhava-Cakka (the 12 links or 11 Paccaya) Destroys Wrong View. |
|
| Realizing
the truth of Paticcasamuppada will destroy
vipallasa dhamma (perversity of perception)
by the power of wisdom: |
| 1.
Avijja (Ignorance) |
| When
it is realized that ignorance (avijja)
is the paccaya (aiding condition) of
kamma-formations, it destroys the wrong
view that some Higher Power caused or created everything. |
| 2.
Kamma-Formation |
| Because
it is realized that kamma-formations
cause rebirth consciousness (patisandhivinnana),
it destroys the illusion of self (sakkaya-ditthi)-because
it's not 'you' being reborn, only rebirth consciousness. |
| 3.Nama-Rupa |
| Because
consciousness is the paccaya (aiding
condition) to nama and rupa
(which is cetasika and rupa),
this changes the wrong view that nama-rupa
is substantial and permanent. |
| 4.
Six Sense Bases |
| Because
nama-rupa is the paccaya
to the six sense bases (eye, ear, nose, etc), the wrong view is changed
that we hear, we see. |
 |
| 5.
Contact |
|
Because
the six sense bases are paccaya for contact
(phassa), and phassa
is made up of organ, object and the citta
that knows (vinnana), the wrong view
is destroyed that sense organ, object, and citta,
are self. |
| 6.
Feeling |
| Because
contact is the paccaya to feeling, such
as sukha-vedana, etc. - the wrong view
is changed that 'we' have pleasure or suffer. |
| 7.
Craving |
| Because
feeling is the paccaya that results in
tanha (which expressed in terms of mental
properties, is lobha-cetasika), the wrong
view is destroyed that sense pleasures in any bhava
lead to happiness. |
| 8.
Clinging |
| Because
tanha is the paccaya
for clinging (upadana), which is composed
of lobha-cetasika and ditthi-cetasika,
the wrong view is changed that something is attractive, beautiful,
pleasant-smelling, etc., and thus should be clung to. |
| 9.
Becoming |
| Because
upadana (clinging) is the paccaya
for Becoming, it destroys the wrong view that when one dies there
is no rebirth. (Actually, upadana causes
Becoming - which is cetana-cetasika-citta.
Cetana is the volition or action which
brings about result (vipaka) - which
is Rebirth or Becoming.) |
| 10.
Birth |
| Because
becoming (bhava) is the paccaya
for birth (jati) , it destroys the wrong
view that the five Khandas are happiness. |
| 11.Deacay
and Death |
| Because
birth (jati) is the paccaya
for decay and death, the wrong view is changed that the five Khandas
are beautiful, permanent and personal. |
