초록

In later YogAcAra, the path to enlightenment is the course of learning the Four Noble Truths, investigating their meaning, and realizing them directly and experientially through meditative practice (bhAvanA). The object of the yogi's enlightenment-realization is dharma and dharmin: The dharma is the true nature of real things, e.g., momentariness, while the dharmin is real things i.e., momentary things. During the practice of meditation, dharma is directly grasped in the process of clear manifestation (viA > adAbhA) and the particular dharmin is indirectly ascertained in the process of determination (adhyavasAya). So, even though a yogi does not directly perceive any actual thing, s/he is still nonetheless able to undertake practical activity directed toward it. The realization of the Four Noble Truths consists of two aspects: firstly, the manifestation of momentariness, etc., in the stream of the yogi's consciousness; secondly, the ascertainment of momentariness, etc., in whatever s/he happens to encounter.
