The only way, bhikkhus, is this path, for beings’ purification, for sorrow and lamentation’s overcoming, for pain and displeasure’s disappearance, for the true way’s attainment, for Nibb\u0101na’s realization: that is, the four foundations of mindfulness(catt\u0101ro sati\u2219pa\u1e6d\u1e6dh\u0101n\u0101).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Mah\u0101\u2219Sati\u2219Pa\u1e6d\u1e6dh\u0101na\u2219Sutta\u1e43’ (‘The Great Mindfulness-Foundation Sutta’)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Only Way for the Realization of Nibb\u0101na, the Most Venerable Sayadaw gives a brief summary of the practice necessary for such realization, namely samatha and vipassan\u0101. He bases his discussion on the first section of the \u2018Mah\u0101\u2219Sati\u2219Pa\u1e6d\u1e6dh\u0101\u1e47a Sutta<\/em>\u2019, the in&out-breath section of \u2018The Great Mindfulness-Foundation Sutta\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the preface (pp.1-23), the Sayadaw discusses the \u2018Mah\u0101\u2219Sati\u2219Pa\u1e6d\u1e6dh\u0101\u1e47a Sutta<\/em>\u2019 within the context of other suttas where The Buddha discusses the practice necessary for realizing Nibb\u0101na. Afterwards, the Sayadaw discusses the in&out-breath section of the sutta within the context of the remaining sections of \u2018The Great Mindfulness-Foundation Sutta\u2019. Afterwards, the entire in&out-breath section is quoted (pp.25-26). And there is a brief discussion of how one progresses from mundane samatha and vipassan\u0101 to supramundane samatha and vipassan\u0101 (p.27).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sayadaw then discusses in practical detail The Buddha\u2019s instructions on samatha in the in&out-breath section of the \u2018Mah\u0101\u2219Sati\u2219Pa\u1e6d\u1e6dh\u0101\u1e47a Sutta<\/em>\u2019, beginning with Ever mindful he breathes in; ever mindful he breathes out; ending with \u2018Tranquillizing the body formation, I shall breathe in \u2019: thus he trains. \u2018Tranquillizing the body formation, I shall breathe out \u2019: thus he trains<\/strong>; this being the four stages of development for attaining the four jh\u0101nas (pp.28-36).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sayadaw then discusses in practical detail The Buddha\u2019s instructions on the four stages of vipassan\u0101. First Thus he abides contemplating the body in the body internally, or he abides contemplating the body in the body externally, or he abides contemplating the body in the body internally and externally<\/strong>; this being direct know\u00adledge and contemplation of ultimate materiality and ultimate mentality through the elements contemplation section of the \u2018Mah\u0101\u2219Sati\u00ad\u2219Pa\u1e6d\u00ad\u1e6dh\u0101\u1e47a Sutta<\/em>\u2019, as well as the sections of consciousness-, feelings- and dhammas contemplation (pp.37-60). Second He abides contemplating originating phenomena in the body; or he abides contemplating perishing phenomena in the body; or he abides contemplating <\/strong>[both] originating&perishing phenomena in the body<\/strong>; this being the direct know\u00adledge and contemplation of causal and momentary rise&perish (pp.61-65). Third Or mindfulness that \u2018there is the body\u2019 is established just sufficient for knowledge, sufficient for mindfulness<\/strong>; this being the higher mundane vipassan\u0101 knowledges, prior to the realization of Nibb\u0101na (p.66). Fourth And he abides independent, and does not cling to anything in the world<\/strong>; this being the supramundane realization of Nibb\u0101na (p.67).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Saya\u00addaw describes each stage of samatha and vipassan\u0101 in terms of the Noble Eightfold Path, and he describes vipassan\u0101 in terms of the full knowledges described by The Buddha as necessary for realization of Nibb\u0101na, quoted and discussed in the preface. Their mutual correspondence is shown in a table (p.69).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tables describe the phenomena that make up ultimate materiality (pp.41-45) and mentality (pp.51, 53, 56-59) as described by The Buddha, and their correspondence to the various classifications given by The Buddha in earlier quoted suttas (p.71): the five aggregates (p.72), twelve bases (p.73), eighteen elements (p.74), and four Noble Truths (p.75).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
