Summary of First Nâna

The understanding of me, is the one the very essential point to realize the deep of Buddha Dhmma as practicing own self basic on Nama & Rupa . The first nana is called namarupapariccheda-nana. the meaning is the seeing clearly of insight knowledge of body and mind or mentality-materiality.  

In this state, the rising-falling of the abdomen and the mind knowing “rising-falling” are separated from each other However if both the mind knowing “rising-falling” and the rising-falling movement occur simultaneously then he has had Insight knowledge to realize both Rûpa and Nâma.

In the same way, even the observing of minor positions should be known in exactly the same way. If the meditator is mindful of many of these movements intensively, in the present moment, he will realize that it is solely a feature of stretching or bending that is occurring. Even the mind feeling just the movements is only a mental state, and from this realization itself, the meditator is known as one who can separate the bodily state and the mental state each other to get insight knowledge is called namarupapariccheda nana or first nana.

This realization in the namarupapariccheda nana should be understood as a realization coming only from the wisdom that arises out of mental development (bhavanamayapanna). It is not wisdom caused by education, called sutamayapanna, or self-thinking, or wisdom resulting from reflection, called cintamayapanna.  It is an experiential wisdom that has arisen.

The acknowledgement of the abdominal rising-falling as well as softness and hardness of the body without form is also the realization of a specific characteristic of the Earth Element. This realization helps the meditator have the right understanding of rising-falling or softness and hardness.   There is not such as things like “ I , and you or man and woman in this world. It is all the (paramatha) impermanence that is need to realize as meditator in this way we can achieve to be purify the mind of views.
