The notion that you (or elders/preists, more likely in theraveda) have "direct access to insight". No system required, just contemplation of concepts themselves.
Theraveda, huh. SE Asian?
Ah...thanks for the explanation.
I think Direct Insight can lead to incorrect conclusions as a conclusion on should only be formulated based on the fact / evidence on hand. My opinion is that Direct Insight is an ineffective way to approach decisions in life.
Yeah, SE Asian...Burma (Myanmar) actually
