Niramisa Sukha In A Chart

There are several posts at the site on "niramia sukha". It is NOT a feeling (vedana) in the sense of a sense pleasure; it does not belong in the vedana cetasika. It is a "sense of relief" when one starts realizing the "burdens" associated with sense pleasures.

The closest analogy (if one can be given) is the feeling one gets when one is relieved of an headache that one had since birth.

I have made a single page chart that shows how the niramisa sukha starts as one starts when one first hears the true message of the Buddha and starts comprehending it, and becomes a Sotāpanna Anugami. Then it makes permanent stepwise jumps at the four stages of Nibbāna culminating in the Arahanthood.

The pdf file can be saved or printed for reference: Niramisa Sukha - In a Chart Discussion of the chart is at:
