Further for Terry in Wonder-land

[Guest guest]

Hi again,

 

Since I have my pali dictionary out, I came across Nibbanaupassana-nana.

This is 'Contemplation of aversion' and is one of the 18 chief kinds of

insight.

 

I sensed a tad bit of aversion to "despair", "holes" and various forms of

meaningless life, although that may be only my own projection. So, really,

you had a great day of insight practice. A "nana" in vipassana is a "stage"

on a very concrete meditation path. So if you thought you were no-where

-you were actually very somewhere. You just needed a dictionary/map.

Aversion as insight just means one is letting go of stuff not useful.
