kammaṭṭhāna

{kam~maṯ~hṯa-na.}

UMK-USL p29. UKT paraphrase based on UMK-USL, other sources, and my own experience:
n. -- concrete objects or abstract ideas to focus on for the development of the mind  (jhāna ). The developmental process is in two steps:
1. samatha kammaṭṭhāna  -- concentration of the mind to keep it in focus on a particular subject
2. vipassanā kammaṭṭhāna  -- open-minded observation and objective analysis of the subject (without bias based on previously held concepts and ideas).
The aim is to be free from all previously held views and ideas but to focus on the truth as it unfolds itself to the person. A person realises the true nature of immutable laws of the universe and beyond. This can be likened to a scientific analysis of a subject. Gautama Buddha, after striving in vain for six years to find the "truth", finally had to give up all the previous held views and ideas and came up with his First Law or the First Noble Truth "that no sentient being is free from mental suffering".
See my own notes on ka-si-ṇa .
