‘‘ What is there to Realise? ‘‘
_______________________________________________________________
* Pali: Pativedha – Direct, first-hand realization of the Dhamma. This refers to
extinguishing defilement completely, releasing the mind from all suffering
and stress. This qualifies as the essence of the Dhamma. It also refers to the
realisation of the four stages of enlightenment and becoming an Arahant. It
is also taken to mean supreme insight, the realisation of the four noble truths,
which leads to deliverance. Reaching full awakening is equivalent in meaning to
reaching Nibbana.
