Abstract

The purpose of this research, The Study of The Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct as a part of Sae-ka-bpa-dti-bpa-taa-soot is to study the perfect in knowledge and conduct and to study vipassana meditation.

The research has found that the Carefulness of The Six Internal Sense-fields is an aspect of the Fifteen Conducts which are the crucial courses in order to reach the perfect knowledge and to develop heart and mind on the purpose of gaining the true value of a human being.  Especially, Sae-ka-bpa-dti-bpa-taa-soot is indicated by Pra Aa-non. The Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct is a dharma of monks who practice following the Vedas. Pra Aa-non also indicates Moral Conduct,  Concentration and Wisdom. Buddha illustrates his appreciation to Pra Aa-non after the conclusion. Commentators say that Pra Aa-non preaches on this occasion as if Buddha preaches by himself. The study of The Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct is the study of The Four Foundations of Mindfulness, particularly practice in perfect conformity to the Dhamma for the Twelve Spheres. The study has found that the person who has fully moral conduct,   carefulness for six internal sense-fields,   moderation in food intake, practiced for awakening, gaining entirely seven of virtue of the righteous and  achieving four Jhanas contribute to the greatest happiness person.  Moreover, recalling incarnation, having celestial eye, understanding deliverance of mind and gaining intelligence wisdom are personalities of a noble individual who is fully equipped with The Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct.

For example, the Princess Nantha who obsesses with her own beauty experiences the Buddha’s miracle showing an attractive woman becoming old, wrinkle, and finally dying with the intention of expressing a degree of uncertainty. After paying attention to the phenomenon, The Princess realizes the fact that the Six external sense-fields which are appearance, sound, scent, taste, tangible and mind-objects are unstable. Whoever possesses these Six external sense-fields will be filled with deep sadness. Buddha says the cause of suffering comes from yearning for these Six external sense-fields. After The Princess considers the Four Noble Truths, she becomes free from defilement and achieves the stage of Buddhist saint eventually.
