Change and decay of one's own body. How fast is it?
Upvote:1
With vipassanā-ñāṇa you can recognise this change perhaps not to the clarity as in the Abhidhamma.
In p 39 of Process of Conciousness and Matter by (Aggamahāpaṇḍita) Bhaddanta Dr. Rewata Dhamma (Writen as a supplement to Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma), gives an idea at what rate phenomena arises and passes away.
For personal practice if will be sufficient recognise:
- Arising
- Passing
- Change, i.e., what has arisen is what has not arisen before
