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.
