An Analysis of The Practice of Vipassana Meditation for The End of Karama

Abstract

This article aimed 1) to study the method of practicing Vipassana meditation in the Theravada Buddhist scriptures; 2) to study the doctrine of Kamma in the Theravada Buddhist scriptures; 3) to study analytically the ending of Kamma through the practice of Vipassana meditation. The research method used to document research is descriptive analysis.

          The results of the study found that practicing Vipassana meditation in Theravada Buddhism is a training in mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom to develop the wisdom and intuition of the natural state that appears to be just an abstract concrete form as it is. Remove delusion until you are free from the influence of defilements. Therefore, Vipassana's wisdom arises from developing the four foundations of mindfulness of the body, feelings, mind, and dhamma. It has the aim of eliminating Aphijjha (satisfaction) and sorrow (dissatisfaction) in the world, leading to the destruction of Kamma.

          The doctrine of Kamma in Buddhism is related to human life, and the concept of life in various worlds is that actions that have good and bad results when there is still defilement are grounds for doing Kamma. But new Kamma can be created to dilute the Kamma of that bad Kamma to make it weaker or to extinguish Kamma, that is, create Niradha and let it be known until liberation (Magga, bhala (result), Nibbana) is thus extinguished by physical Kamma, Vaci Kamma, and Mano karma, and there is the Eightfold Paths.

          Analyze the ending of Kamma by practicing Vipassana meditation. It is a meditation practice. To attain the four noble paths, there is Sotapattimagga, who reaches the stream of Nibbana. Until attaining Arahantship never a down day. When he has expired, he will never again be conceived in the world of evil. Sakadagami, who returns to be born again, and Anagami, who does not return. will be born in the world of Brahma and nibbana in the Brahma world, an arahant is one who has abandoned sins and unwholesome dhamma. Having ended the shackles of sensual pleasures, patikha, ditthi, vijikiccha, silapphatpramas, bhavaraka, issa, maccariya, and ignorance, the Arahant has ended his cycle which you can abandon with your wisdom.
