Patism : Penetration of the Four Noble Truths

[Ted]

Hello All !

Directly knowing is one aspect of penetration of the four acutalities
(truths, sacca) as stated in the Patism, XII, 17.

"In how many aspects is there single penetration of the four
actualities?

There is single penetration of the four actualities in twelve
aspects:
in the sense of suchness (tathataa),
in the sense of not self,
in the sense of actuality,
in the sense of penetration(pativedha),
in the sense of direct knowing,
in the sense of fully understanding(pari~n~naa),
in the sense of idea(dhamma),
in the sense of principle(dhaatu);
in the sense of what-is-known,
in the sense of realization(sacchikiriyaa),
in the sense of sounding(contact, phassana),
in the sense of convergence.
The four actualities in these twelve aspects are included as one. What
is included as one is unity. Unity is penetrated by a single
knowledge. Thus the four
actualities have a single penetration."
