The Model of the Process of Arising and Ceasing of Suffering According to The Principles of Paṭiccasamuppāda in Vipassana Meditation

Abstract

This research article has 3 objectives: 1) to study the practice of Vipassana meditation based on the principles of Paṭiccasamuppāda, 2) analyze the process of the arising and cessation of suffering according to these principles, and 3) to present a model that encapsulates the process of suffering in the context of Vipassana meditation. The CMDNI Model was developed to illustrate this process, comprising Conditioned Arising (C), Mindfulness (M), Diagnosis (D) of universal characteristics, Noble Truths (N), and Insight Knowledge (I). The application of this model demonstrated a systematic approach to understanding the nature of suffering and its cessation. This research contributes both theoretically and practically to the fields of Vipassana meditation and Buddhist studies, offering valuable insights for meditation teachers, practitioners, and scholars. It also provides a structured framework for applying the principles of Paṭiccasamuppāda in meditation practice, advancing both personal and academic endeavors in understanding Buddhist teachings.
