Based on the tenets of the Four Āgamas expounded by the Buddha, this book provides detailed and concrete guidance for practitioners to contemplate the five aggregates and sever the view of self. The steps for cultivation are clear, explicit, and easy to understand. With sufficient dhyāna (meditative concentration), it is highly accessible for practical application, making realization relatively straightforward when following the instructions in this book. The book introduces specific and detailed methods for contemplative practice, serving as a comprehensive guide for modern Buddhists. As long as practitioners diligently apply these methods, arouse renunciation, and strengthen their dhyāna, they will find the path to severing the view of self. Attaining the fruits of the path and experiencing the merits and benefits of liberation are not difficult. The book also emphasizes the distinction between intellectual understanding and genuine realization to prevent sentient beings from mistaking mere comprehension for actual attainment. The retribution in future lives is fearsome, and such confusion would only hinder one's own spiritual progress in vain.
