Excerpt
Excerpt: noble paths and fruitions, and gradually eradicate or reduce various defilements. After having seen Nibbana for first time, mediators can see clearly that they have attained the first path and fruition, what defilements they have abandoned, and what defilements they still need to abandon. Then they continue to practice Vipassana to attain higher paths and fruitions up to arahantship, whereby they are no longer subject to rebirth, and will attain final Nibbana after death.
