Based on the purport of the four Āgama sūtras expounded by the Buddha, this book provides detailed guidance for the public in the contemplative practice (vipaśyanā-caryā) of the five aggregates (pañca-skandha) to achieve the eradication of the view of self (satkāya-dṛṣṭi-prahāṇa); the practice steps are clear and easy to understand, and as long as meditative concentration is sufficient, it is very easy to begin actual practice, and realization according to the teachings of this book is relatively easy to attain. The book gives a detailed introduction to the practical methods of contemplative practice, and may be regarded as a rather detailed guide for study and practice for the modern Buddhist community; as long as practitioners genuinely cultivate and earnestly train according to these methods, generating the mind of renunciation and strengthening meditative concentration, they will find the way to the eradication of the view of self, and attaining the fruit of realization and the beneficial function of liberation in merit will not be difficult. This book also explains the difference between "understanding" and "realization," so as to prevent sentient beings from mistaking understanding for realization; the retributive consequences in future lives are fearsome, and one would merely delude one's own progress on the Path.
