Choose one map that belongs to the method you practise

Pick the stage map written for the method you actually practise, and treat the others as comparisons, not instructions.

なぜ効果があるのか

Each map describes a particular method. The progress of insight describes the noting-style vipassanā its author taught. The nine stages describe the mind settling on one object in calm abiding. The ox-herding pictures describe a Chan and Zen path from seeking to returning to ordinary life. The lamrim orders a whole path that begins with motivation, and the Mahāmudrā yogas assume a pointing-out instruction from a teacher. A map written for one method can describe experiences that a different method does not produce, so blending maps tends to produce mismatch.

やり方

  1. Name the method you practise in one line, and the teacher or lineage behind it if you have one.
  2. Read the map written for that method first, in full, before reading others.
  3. Keep a short note of where the other maps differ from your method, so you can compare without merging them.
  4. If you change method, change maps with it, and note the change in your log.

エビデンス

Each map is described by its own tradition as a map of its own method: Mahasi Sayadaw for insight, the Ninth Karmapa’s instruction for Mahāmudrā, Tsong-kha-pa’s lamrim for the graded path, and the Chan ox-herding verses for the return to ordinary life. (anecdotal)

No study I found tests whether a method-matched map predicts experience better than another map. The claim rests on how the sources describe their own methods.

出典

よくある間違い

Blending two or three maps into one composite ladder, which no tradition describes, and which makes it hard to tell what your own practice is doing.
