  • The difference between Samahta Yanika and Vipassan Yanika:

    1. when eating a friut, say an apple (a) removing it's outer layer by knife first (b) eating without removing the outer layer but take out from the mouth later

    2. crossing the ocean to reach the other side (a) by a big luxurious ship (d) by swimming

    3. building a nation by (a) capitalism (b) communism

    (Yanika can be translated as "approach", "method" or "way")

    In the above 3 examples choice (a)s are samahta and (b)s are vipassana
