Satipathana and Anicca,Dukka etc?

Post by SarathW »

One Sri Lankan monk analysed Satipathana as follows.

1)Kayanupassan = Asuba Anupassana = Samatha Bhavana =Cetovimukkti
2)Vedananupassana = Dukkha Anupassana = Vipassana Bhavana = Panna Vimukti
3)Cittanupassana = Anicca Anupassana = Vipassana Bhavna = Panna Vimukti
4)Dhammanupassana = Anattanupassan = Vipassana Bhavana = Panna Vimukti

Can someone provide the Sutta reference?
Please listen to the Pali segment in the following video.
Just a matter of interest the duration of the dhamma sermon of this monk extends to about 11 hours sometimes!!!! :o

I don't think it works like that. Samatha simply means the act of calming, Vipassana means the act of investigating. You're supposed to calm each sankhara/satipatthana while investigating how that results in less dukkha.

It's not an either/or situation, you're supposed to do both for each Satipatthana stage.
There is only one battle that could be won, and that is the battle against the 3 poisons. Any other battle is a guaranteed loss because you're going to die either way.

In the video there is a Sutta chanting is provided to support what I mentioned in OP.
What I like to know is the Sutta name.
