Chapter 7 - Natural Law And The Buddha-dhamma

However, it is only in recent years that modern philosophers and scientists have come to recognise that "everything is in a state of flux or change; nothing whatsoever is permanent and substantial in all the worldly domain". That been explicitly taught by the Buddha over 2,500 years ago in its exposition not only to the body, so called matter, but also the mind.

In Buddhism, for higher rational thinking and philosophy, knowledge is divided into two kinds:

1. Knowledge of Kammassakata (i.e.) proper understanding of action and reaction; and
2. Knowledge of insight meditation (Vipassana nana ) which corresponds to the adaptation of sublime truth (Saccanulomika nana).

The followers of Hindu faith can attain kamassakata knowledge, but not Saccanulomika nana which can lead to the attainment of the Path and Fruition of Ariya stages. However, in the Buddha's teaching specifically both knowledge can be attained.

In the Buddha's teaching, by virtue of these two kinds of knowledge or wisdom, the aspirant can attain the ultimate blissful Peace of Nibbana, through the Paths and Fruitions which cannot be attained by following any doctrine of other religions. The Buddha's teaching alone contains the significant prescription or technique to be practised for the higher knowledge pertaining to the transcendental Path of Nibbana and thereby closing forever all doors to rebirth in the lower realms of gravest misery and woe (Apaya) and then leading to the utter liberation from Samsara.

To acquire such a higher knowledge of adaptation to the sublime truths, the aspirant intending to achieve the final goal of Deliverance should first establish himself in the Purity of View or Understanding (Ditthi Visuddhi).
