On page Sixty-Three, a list of the seven stages of purification and the sixteen insight-knowledges.
They are:
- Morality, mind, view, overcoming doubt, what is and is not the path, vision of the way, and knowledge and vision.
- Materiality-mentality, discernment of cause and condition, comprehension, arising and passing away, dissolution, terror, danger, disenchantment, desire for deliverance, reflection, equanimity, conformity, change of lineage (?), the path, fruition, and reviewing.
Excellent. Some of them seem very much to be further acceptance and awareness of what the mind is and what the mind does. Sayadaw and others, including Vivekanada, believe that these knowledges occur in a sequence to the yogi who is ardently practicing vipassana. Here's
all Vivekananda's stuff at Dharmaseed, I have listened to a few of them, and if you can take his 'satnam futna' Tourettes, its great, really great.
