Mnemonic
Same as Chapter VI.
Explanation of the Method and Chart of Chapter X
Subject matter : The 250 dissociated states such as matter aggregate
and so on dealt with in Chapter VI also form the subject matter
of this chapter.
“ These states ” and “ Those states ” : The states which are
dissociated from the state o f enquiry are taken as the first “ these
states ” and then as the first “ those states ” . Then the states which
are dissociated from the first “ those states ” are taken as the second
“ these states ” and “ those states ” . The dissociation and partial
dissociation from aggregates, bases and elements of the latter states
are then found.
How to read the Chart: Matter aggregate is taken as illustration.
Matter aggregate is dissociated from these states (4 mental aggregates).
Those states (4 mental aggregates) are dissociated from
these states (matter 28, Nibbana).
From how many aggregates, from how many bases and from how
many elements are those states (matter 28, Nibbana) dissociated ?
They are dissociated from 4 aggregates (4 mental aggregates), from
1 base (mind base) and from 7 elements (7 consciousness elements).
Note : In the commentary on this chapter it is stated that Nibbana
is similar to subtle matter (Nibbanam pana sukhumarupa-gatika
meva). Some have misinterpreted this as meaning that Nibbana
is as subtle as subtle matter. The commentator did not mean that
it should be taken as such. What he wanted to point out was that
since both Nibbana and the 16 subtle physical states are classified
under cognizable base and cognizable element, they are alike in this
respect.
In the subcommentary, it is stated that the characteristics of
Nibbana and subtle matter are not shown but that Nibbana is to
be taken in partial dissociation and, therefore, that they are alike
in this respect.
