What is the mental factor of Adhimokkkha (determination) use for? I am interested in what many ways Adhimokkha(determination) is used in meditation or other purposes in different traditions.
In the Mahasi tradition (and perhaps others), resolutions are used when training the mind so that a certain type of insight (vipassana stage) arises during the practice -- most often the supramundane stage (cessation/fruition, magga-phala-nana), but also the lower stages (from A&amp;P up to equanimity). The object of the resolution is stated in the mind (or aloud) before the practice, then let go. See Mahasi's great Practical Insight Meditation for details on that.
