Appendix 1: The Progress of Insight

Appendixes 1–3 of Manual of Insight by Mahāsi Sayadaw

Purification of Conduct (sīlavisuddhi)
Purification of Mind (cittavisuddhi)
Purification of View (diṭṭhivisuddhi)

This insert contains eight tables of Abhidhamma information to clarify the references in Manual of Insight by Mahāsi Sayadaw. These tables were originally designed
by Steve Armstrong in 1987–88 when, as the monk Ven. Buddharakkhita, he was
studying with Sayadaw U Dhammapiya in Penang, Malaysia. They were later
refined with the guidance of Sayadaw U Sāgara of Sydney, Australia, and digitized

1. Knowledge that Discerns Mental and Physical Phenomena
(nāmarūpaparicchedañāṇa)
Purification by Overcoming Doubt (kaṅkhāvitaraṇavisuddhi)
2. Knowledge that Discerns Conditionality ( paccayapariggahañāṇa)
3. Insight Knowledge by Comprehension (sammasanañāṇa)
4. Insight Knowledge of Arising and Passing Away
(immature) (udayabbayañāṇa)

between 1991–2015. Such tables did not appear in the original two-­volume
Burmese-­language edition of Manual of Insight. If any errors are noticed in the data
contained herein, please let us know at www.mahasimanualofinsight.org, where
corrections will be noted and there will be additional information for reading
the tables as necessary.
