Concise Pali-English Dictionary
Rating: - 'overcoming', abandoning. There are 5 kinds of overcoming: those are
(1) Overcoming by repression
(vikkhambhana-pahāna), i.e. the temporary suspension of the 5 hindrances
(nīvarana, q.v.) during the absorptions,
(2) Overcoming by the opposite
(tadanga-pahāna),
(3) Overcoming by destruction
(samuccheda-pahāna),
(4) Overcoming by tranquillization
(patipassaddhi-pahāna),
(5) Overcoming by escape
(nissarana-pahāna).
(1) "Among these, 'overcoming
by repression' is the pushing back of adverse things, such as the 5 mental
hindrances (nīvarana q.v), etc., through this or that mental concentration
(samādhi, q.v.), just as a pot thrown into moss-clad water pushes the moss
aside....
(2) " 'Overcoming by the
opposite' is the overcoming by opposing this or that thing that is to be
overcome, by this or that factor of knowledge belonging to insight (vipassanā
q.v.), just as a lighted lamp dispels the darkness of the night. In this way,
the personality-belief (sakkāyaditthi, s. ditthi) is overcome by determining
the mental and corporeal phenomena ... the view of uncausedness of existence by
investigation into the conditions... the idea of eternity by contemplation of
impermanency ... the idea of happiness by contemplation of misery....
(3) "If through the knowledge
of the noble path (s. ariyapuggala) the fetters and other evil things cannot
continue any longer, just like a tree destroyed by lightning, then such an
overcoming is called 'overcoming by destruction' " (Vis.M. XXII, 110f.).
(4) When, after the disappearing of
the fetters at the entrance into the paths, the fetters, from the moment of
fruition (phala) onwards, are forever extinct and stilled, such overcoming is
called the 'overcoming by tranquillization'.
(5) "The 'overcoming by escape'
is identical with the extinction and Nibbāna" (Pts.M. I. 27). (App.).
