“Chính vì vậy mà giáo pháp của Đức Phật có chia ra làm 3 bậc: sơ thiện, trung thiện và hậu thiện.
* Sơ thiện giúp cho người sơ cơ chưa thấy pháp có thể đoạn giảm điều ác, tăng trưởng điều lành để vơi bớt những phiền não khổ đau do vọng nghiệp gây nên.
* Trung thiện giúp cho người đã thấy pháp (ngộ) có thể nhập lưu (bước vào dòng Thánh).
* Hậu thiện giúp cho các bậc Thánh hữu học đạt đến vô học, tức là giác ngộ giải thoát hoàn toàn.
Vậy nếu xét thấy mình còn sơ cơ thì đừng vội luận bàn lý Bát-nhã hay cố gắng thực hành tuệ quán Vipassanā, mà chỉ nên bố thí, phóng sanh, trai giới, gần gũi và học hỏi các bậc thiện trí thức, nghe pháp, tụng kinh, sám hối, cung kính, phục vụ v.v..
Lúc thân tâm tương đối ổn định, trong sáng hành giả có thể tu tập những bước sâu hơn như nhẫn nhục, nhu hoà, tinh tấn, thiền định, tứ vô lượng tâm hoặc trì chú, quán tưởng, niệm Phật, tham công án v.v..
Đến lúc nói năng, hành động, suy nghĩ đều có thể sáng suốt, định tĩnh, trong lành trong tinh tấn, chánh niệm, tỉnh giác, không bị che lấp bởi thế giới ý niệm của lý trí vọng thức nữa thì mới có thể thấy được lý Bát-nhã và hành được sự Vipassanà một cách chính xác.”
