The Five Cessations of Suffering (Nirodha) :: Luangpu Pramote Pamojjo 3 April 2022

Cessation of suffering is called ‘Nirodha’.
There are 5 levels cessation by calm meditation,
by vipassana, by the noble path, by the noble fruition,
and by nirvana.
Calm meditation suppresses the 5 hinderances
that hinder the development of our mind.
With concentration,
the mind can temporarily suppress the hindrances.
When we practice vipassana meditation,
we have to see the 3 marks of existence.
By seeing the 3 marks of existence,
vipassana will develop wisdom that correct the wrong views,
that we previously held.
With sufficient vipassana
Finally, the noble path will appear.
It appears by itself once our precepts,
concentration and wisdom are fulfilled up to the required level.
When the noble path arises, it extinguishes the defilements.
Once eliminated by the noble path, those defilements won’t come back.
We will be able to abolish three fetters:
belief in a self, doubt in the Triple Gem, and clinging to rites and rituals.
The 4th one is the result, the noble fruition.
At this point it’s not extinguishing defilements,
but the defilements can’t arise anymore.
There’s no more work to do.
The 5th type of Nirodha is nirvana.
the mind that reaches nirvana extinguishes ignorance
in the noble truths, extinguishes craving,
clinging, becoming, birth, suffering.
We’ll get to see all of these by practicing samatha and vipassana.
