Hello,
sati, satisampajañña and satipañña are three pali terminologies that I am considering.
I would like some help. Lists in the Pali Canon, The four bhramas viharas for example, Oftentimes are presented to us as, Somewhat, being in increasing difficulty. It makes sense to me that the three above mentioned terminologies Arrive at satipañña. We might need to have Sati and satisampajañña quite well established Before we can move fully into The more integrated quality of satipañña. However, I don’t know where to start looking for something in the Canon Which might help me to understand this better.
We have mindfullness as a rendering of Sati, venerable Sumedo renders sampajañña as intuitive awareness, then there is satipañña. I find a potential progression here quite interesting. It’s completely plausible that my next hypothesis is rubbish, However a correction for me is pretty good.
If with satisampajañña (mindfullness and intuitive awareness) Suffering can be understood, The result is satipañña.
To make it less abstract. Using themes from a recent Ajahn amaro talk.
Paraquoting: you can be acutly aware that the person over there is happy, and yet have no understanding as to why.
There is an intuitive awareness which can be understood.
We dont have to have a story about why the intuitive awareness of phenomenon, in a citta sense in order to understand. If this suffering been understood would it not be the case that satipañña would be an apt description of the arisen mindstate?
Thanks all who read!
