This section will help an average person get to the Sotāpanna stage. Furthermore, this material is ESSENTIAL for a Sotāpanna to attain the higher stages of Nibbāna.
Background Material:
1. The “hidden pure mind” (pabhassara citta) is explained in the “Recovering the Suffering-Free Pure Mind” series of posts.
2. The anicca, dukkha, and anatta nature could be explained differently based on that approach. See “Does “Anatta” Refer to a “Self”? “
3. For an introduction to saññā, see “Saññā – What It Really Means.”
