Drop of Dhamma Delight!

Friends:

How does one gain the Divine All-Seeing Eye?

The Blessed Buddha once said:
Which concentration, Bhikkhus, when practised & developed often ,
will lead to gaining the divine eye of understanding (dibba-cakkhu) ?
When the Bhikkhu reflects on experiencing light, fixes his mind on
this perception of daylight, always both at day-time & also at night!

In this way, with wakeful and stainless mind, he develops a state of
luminous consciousness accompanied by a bright radiant inner light.
This concentration, developed and practised often indeed leads to
the attainment of the eye of understanding (dibba-cakkhu) ...

Visuddhimagga XIII, 95 says that this luminous state of mind is a
prerequisite condition for reaching the knowledge of the divine eye.
This enlightening training also evaporates all Lethargy & Laziness.
