Abstract

This thesis has three purposes. The first purpose is to study Wisdom principles and Wisdom of Mental Object from Theravada Buddhist Scriptures. The second purpose is to study Sampajañña principles from Theravada Buddhist Scriptures. And the last is to study the connection between Paññãcetasika and the Development of Clear Comprehension in The Insight Meditation. The thesis is completed by collecting information from Theravada Buddhist Scriptures which are the Three Baskets, the Commentaries, the Sub-Commentaries and the other related Scriptures by composing the data and checking the right essences by the specialists.

From the study, it is found that Wisdom of Mental Object (Paññãcetasika) is the nature of realization (Lakkanatitukaka), understand principle of nature thoroughly, get rid of the darkness (Amoha) completely, being without obsession and being complete with concentration. Concentration causes the occurrence of wisdom which is used to attain enlightenment. Wisdom in Buddhist is the highest wisdom named Bhavanamayapanna, used for mindfulness as regards the sorrow. Not knowing sorrow is Avijja, ignorance and lack of knowledge of nature’s principle. The meaning of Sorrow following Buddha’s word is Dukkha Ariyasacca, the noble truth of suffering. The result of mindfulness sorrow is abandoning Samudaya (the cause of suffering), achieve Nirodha (the cessation or extinction of suffering), occur of Magga (the noble path), reach Ariyasaccani (the four noble truths) and accomplish enlightenment eventually.

Sampajañña in pali means clear consciousness, awareness while mindfulness as regards the material object and mental object in present. The Four Sampajañña is composed of Sattok- Sampajañña (mindfulness as regards the practical feeling and unpractical feeling), Suppai- Sampajañña (mindfulness as regards the suppaya feeling), Kojohn-Sampajañña (mindfulness as regards the meditation feeling) and Asummoha-Sampajañña (mindfulness as regards the every feeling at all time). Sampajañña is crucial in practice meditation. The more awareness the person has, the more mindfulness of the present moment that person can achieve. The benefit of mindfulness on present is the ability to destroy Abhijjha and Domanassa.

The practice of Satipatthana, composed of Atapi, Sampachano, Satima or Persistance, Sampajañña, Sati, performs the mindfulness as regards the body, feeling, thoughts and mind-objects. Sampajañña, composed of Panyajatasik, panya in four Sampajañña, performs as wisdom. The significances of dharma as mention above are Sila, Samadhi and Panna. Sampajañña and Panna Jatasik is almost the same. The difference is Sampajañña is weaker than Panna Jatasik. In conclusion, Sampajañña is Panna, the awareness that happen from mindfulness as regards the material object and mental object at the present moment called. Panna is nature of realizing the truth. Both dharma achieve the same task which are comprehend present, mindfulness as regards the material and mental objects,  become conscious in Tilakkhana and  Magga,  reach  Ariyasaccani  and  accomplish  enlighten-ment.
