Mind-Liberation and Wisdom-Liberation 1

Related to mind-liberation and wisdom-liberation. This chapter discusses the problems of the wisdom-liberation explicitly responds to the shortcomings of previous studies and puts forward the true meaning of wisdom-liberation in Nikāya. The first section mainly sorts out and solves the related problems of the wisdom-liberation leading to the deviation of the research tendency of the liberation of knowledge more than the Susima sutta. Texting the content mentioned in the Sutra and comparing the Susima sutta in the Nikāya and Agama Sutra I find that there are some differences and the description of the wisdom-liberation in the Sutra is not very clear. In the second section the four Jhanas the five lower fetters Seven Samāpatti Eight-liberation etc. are directly related to the mind-liberation and wisdom-liberation.The discussion of the mind-liberation. According to Nikāya many Sutras records the mind-liberation of them alone. They are of various kinds so it is necessary to sort them out for further understanding and discussion so that the study of the wisdom-liberation will not be confused. There are four kinds of mind-liberation: Infinite Mind-liberation Benevolence Liberation Big Mind-liberation Right Mind-liberation Unmotivated Liberation Non-holding Liberation and so on. Among them the practice method of mind-liberation is the most detailed. Although the name of other liberation is different most of them take mind-liberation as the practice method. Here I also want to respond to one thing the mind-liberation itself is a method of spiritual practice liberation; why to want to drive it out of the door let alone the Wisdom-liberation is inseparable from the Mind-liberation. If the two appear together in the sutras they have a special meaning in themselves so we cant ignore them at will. Suppose we discuss the wisdom-liberation apart from the mind-liberation. In that case there are only about eight sutras in Nikāya. And all the other sutras of wisdom-liberation have records of the transition. From the four Jhanas to the wisdom-liberation except theSusima sutta. Therefore modern scholars try to find a more content basis for the wisdom-liberation from Palis Nikāya explanatory books. This paper mainly studies the relationship between mind-liberation wisdom-liberation and how to enter such a state of liberation based on the Sutra of Nikāya and Agama Sutra.
