1) Pariyatti-sāsanā – learning the instructions of the Buddha,
2) Paṭipatti-sāsanā – practicing the instructions of the Buddha, and
3) Pativedha-sāsanā – realizing the truth as instructed by the Buddha or attaining noble-hood by the power of practicing.

Description

The Buddha explained to us different types of consciousnesses, different types of mental factors, different types of materialities, and Nibbāna in his teaching.
They are also Nāma-rūpa – mentality and materiality.
They are also Khandhās – the aggregates.
They are also Ariyasaccā – the noble truths.

If we want to know Nāma-rūpa, Khandhā, Saccā and any other grouping of ultimate realities, we must study Abhidhamma. There are many ultimate realities arising in every single second in our daily life. If we can know them every moment, we are practicing the Buddha’s Teaching, the higher trainings.

As we have the three Sāsanās:
1) Pariyatti-sāsanā – learning the instructions of the Buddha,
2) Paṭipatti-sāsanā – practicing the instructions of the Buddha, and
3) Pativedha-sāsanā – realizing the truth as instructed by the Buddha or attaining noble-hood by the power of practicing.

We must learn for practicing and practice for realizing in order to attain the complete cessation of all ultimate realities at the end of our life.

May all beings be well and happy!

May all beings be able to enjoy the taste of Noble Dhamma!
