How to realize the most peaceful bliss, Nibbana

The whole purpose of the teachings of the Buddha is to realize Nibbana. It is mentioned in the Dhammapada in order to realize Nibbana one has to view by the meditative insight ‘all the dhammas are selfless (anatta)’. 


 “Sabbe dhamma anattat ti - yada pannaya passati, 
 Atha nibbindati dukkhe - esa maggo visuddhiya” 
 (When anyone views Dhamma as non-self through Prajna (insight), then he is averse in dukkha, this is the path to Nirvana).


 There are three kinds of modes of analysis of Dhamma are given to view the empiric individuality in selfless way (Anatta). 
 1). Khandha analysis is to show there is no Atman in any form of aggregate and none of the skandhas belongs to me (n’etam mama); they do not correspond to “I” (n’eso aham asmi), nor are they my self (n’eso me atta). Thus the main purpose of this analysis is to prevent the intrusion of the notions of “mine”, “I” and “my self” into what is otherwise an impersonal and egoless congeries of mental –physical Phenomena. 
 2). The analysis into twelve ayatanas show that what we call individual existence is a process of interaction between the internal  (ajjhattika) sense-organs and the external (bahira) sense- objects, as well as to reject the notion of taking Rupa((Materiality) as Atta (Ego). 
3). The analysis into eighteen dhatus show that consciousness is neither a soul nor an extension of a soul–substance but a mental Phenomenon which comes into being as a result of certain conditions. There is no independent consciousness which exists in its own right. This is the germs of Abhidhamma, specially the analysis of an individual being into Khandha, Ayatana and Dhatu leads to the whole expansion of new analytical interpretation as Abhidhamma. This is the germs of Abhidhamma, specially the analysis of an individual being into Khandha, Ayatana and Dhatu leads to the whole expansion of new analytical interpretation as Abhidhamma. Only Abhldhamma,the most profound teaching of The Buddha is understood, The Buddha’s teaching is comprehended clearly. 


It is the simple way to remove Ego--the intrusion of the notions of “mine”, “I” and “my self” into what is otherwise an impersonal and egoless congeries of mental –physical Phenomena. The notions of “mine”, is craving(Tanha). Next the notions of “I” is conceit(Mana). Finally the notions of “my self or my ego” is wrong view (Atta ditthi) which is the first enemy of Buddhism.The Buddha preached eight kinds of noble people(Ariyas). When the wrong view (Atta ditthi) is overcome, the most peaceful bliss, Nibbana is realized as the first noble one of the eight noble ones.


Dhammas are known many. How many are Dhammas practiced?
