| Understanding
the Dhamma through direct knowledge |
| By U. Mapa |
| There are three kinds of
knowledge in relation to Dhamma. First, knowledge acquired
by learning: suthamaya nana. It may be by hearing from
someone or by reading. The second is knowledge gained
by reasoning: chinthamaya nana; and the third is direct
knowledge gained through contemplation or meditation.
This is called bhavanamaya nana which is insight knowledge.

a store that you can’t walk out of empty handed,

a teaspoon to a king size bed all under one roof. The
