“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Some teachers would discourage students from reading about the Nanas on their own... It can create inhibiting expectations and self-diagnoses...

Re: The Progression of Insight Knowledge
I fail to see how such a closed-hand habit would be in keeping with the open-hand Dhamma. Maybe if the Nanas are somehow an extra spice on the Dhamma, it makes sense to watch out who learns about them and when?Viscid wrote:Some teachers would discourage students from reading about the Nanas on their own...

- "And how is it, bhikkhus, that by protecting oneself one protects others? By the pursuit, development, and cultivation of the four establishments of mindfulness. It is in such a way that by protecting oneself one protects others.
"And how is it, bhikkhus, that by protecting others one protects oneself? By patience, harmlessness, goodwill, and sympathy. It is in such a way that by protecting others one protects oneself.

Re: The Progression of Insight Knowledge
Well it's kind of hard to avoid information on the Progress of Insight today, it's on many forums and websites. I'm pretty sure I came across it when I first learned Vipassana and did a search on Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw. There's a link to the Progress of Insight on his Wikipedia page.
If this information is supposed to be for teachers only then they've done a poor job of keeping it from beginning students.
