There are three steps to the training.
1) Giới:
Ngũ giới,
Nếu chưa giữ được 5 giới [Không giữ được giới thì không bao giờ định]
Thí dụ: Còn chưa giữ trọn cấm sát sanh trọn đời 24/7/100 years thì Vipassana không phải pháp môn bạn theo được đâu!
thì khỏi đi sang giai đoạn 2)
First, students practice sila (Morality) - abstaining from actions which cause harm. They undertake five moral precepts, practising abstention from killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying and the use of intoxicants. The observation of these precepts allows the mind to calm down sufficiently to proceed further with the task at hand.
2) Định
Bao giờ xong giai đoạn 1) thì hãy đọc giai đoạn 2)
Second, for the first three and a half days, students practise Anapana meditation, focusing attention on the breath. This practice helps to develop samadhi (concentration) and gain control over the unruly mind. These first two steps of living a wholesome life and developing control of the mind are necessary and very beneficial, but they are incomplete unless the third step is taken: purifying the mind of underlying mental impurities.
3) Huệ
Có Định rồi mà định mãi thì có ích gì đâu ? Ví như đi đến công viên xong rồi không vào nữa mà chỉ ngồi ngoài cổng rồi về
The third step undertaken for the last six and a half days, is the practice of Vipassana: one penetrates one's entire physical and mental structure with the clarity of panna (wisdom, insight).
