 note = {There are verious concepts which represent intellectual functions in Buddhist thought aiming for attaining
enlighenment by way of understanding of the Truth through the observation and analysis of phenomena
inside and outside in meditation. Among them, vitakka and vicāra are known to be two important terms
which appear in the first stage in the sequence of the jhāna meditation. They are in general translated as “initial
application or applied thought” and “sustained application or sustained thought” in English, however, it
seems to be confusing and unintelligible about the exact meaning of each concept and their difference. Vitakka
and vicāra are not discussed in the Pāli Nikāyas, but they are separately defined in the Abhidhamma, and
explained with a variety of similes in the Milindapañha and the Peṭakopadesa. We can also find that the
Vimuttimagga, which belongs to the Abhayagirivihāravāsins, quotes the similes about a difference of vitakka
and vicāra from the Peṭakopadesa. Furthermore, the Visuddhimagga by Buddhghosa and Pāli commentaries
inherit from the previous discussions and arrange the definitions of the two concepts. In this paper, I shall
investigate a transition of the interpretations of vitakka and vicāra from the Abhidhamma to the Visuddhimagga
in Theravāda Buddhism, and make clear the various figulative images regarding the two functions
in the process of thinking in meditaion.},
