It is call four Vi_sod_dhi's in pali, namely: Sila, Sitta, Dheik_hti, Wisi_keit_sa
- Sila: purification of mind and freedom from bodily cravings while living in harmony with the surrounding.
- Sitta: state of keeping the mind, tied up, and slaved to stay at a certain object of concentration (40 kinds of objects - kamahtan in parli)
- dheik_hti: understand the impermanence of oneself. knowing what is in reality and what is not!
- wisi_keit_sa: no confusion at all on the causes and effects of the past, present and future, or on the truth about the DHAMMA.
