This research paper has 2 objectives; 1) to study the Dhamma principles in Paṭhamagelaññasutta and 2) to study Vipassana meditation practice in Paṭhamakelunyasutta by studying data from Theravada Buddhist scriptures and other related documents, then gathered, summarized, arranged and written in descriptive style and finally verified by Buddhist scholars. From the study, it found that;
Paṭhamagelaññasutta contains the sickness. The Buddha had given teaching to Bhikkhus at healing hall to be mindful and aware, without heedfulness, enthusiasm, devoted mind with assertion focusing on seeing 3 main feelings with detached mind. After death, their mind will become liberated. When perceiving one feeling among three feelings; happy, unhappy and neutral feeling, one knows the rise of these three feelings are occurring to him, then observing its impermanence, decay, dispassion, cease and detachment in bodies. After realizing impermanence etc. one abandons ignorance influx in bodies. When feeling painfully near death, one knows the painful feeing is overwhelming him near death. When death is coming soon, he determines the unsatisfactory feeling, letting his mind free.
To practice Vipassana meditation in Paṭhamagelaññasutta revealed that the insight practitioner was guided by Buddha to start from being mindful and aware of conditioning of body, feeling, mind and mental formations, especially those who are in illness must observe feeling which is happening at the present moment in all gestures and rising and falling sensation based on contemplation on feeling as foundation. When realized true nature of feeling into three marks of existence; impermanence, declination, dispassion, extinction and detachment, that is, to know the feeling in every moment, one will abandon repulsion influx. His mind leads to various states of insight knowledge entering noble path, ceasing all pains, liberated and living without distraction because all defilements ceased away forever.
