Sathipattana Bhavana Kramaya

If someone properly treads the Dhamma path the Buddha teaches he or she can keep hopes of attaining enlightenment within seven days. Failing which if you toil harder you will be able to attain enlightenment within seven months. Even if you fail the Buddha emphasises that the Nibbana is closer to anyone who treads the Dhamma path without getting distracted. What is this special path which the Buddha speaks of which culminates in enlightenment It is the intensely - focused meditation. The Buddha teaches several objects of focus in meditation such as kayanupassana (reflecting on body) vedananupassana (reflecting on feelings) cittanupassana (reflecting on mental emotions) and dhammanupassana (reflecting on changing nature). Venerable Rerukane Chandawimala Thera elucidates each meditation focus step by step.
