once lust arises, one shall concentrate on the present moment by
contemplating on the mind base called Proper Attention, driving intensely to
the ultimate point of origin. There are two types of temperament according to
insight meditation which are samatha and vipassanā or one temperament
of samatha and one temperament of vipassanā that means things which mind
