Re: Depedent Origination by Ven Mahasi sayadaw

While those yogis are in jhana then sensual/physical craving is not present. Likewise, those born in the jhana planes like Brahmas, also do not have sensual craving. they're just enjoyed the Jhana Fruition until it comes to an end because of impermanence. And they (who are not ariya) still have wro...

Re: Depedent Origination by Ven Mahasi sayadaw

Tinhtan I repeat my response in case you haven't seen it. If you look at samma ditthi sutta, feelings are born of the senses. Jhanas are not born of the senses, the feelings in jhana are born of seclusion and composure, therefore they do not lead to craving. 42. "And what is feeling, what is t...

Re: Depedent Origination by Ven Mahasi sayadaw

The above appears to have completely ignored my answer. The Buddha did not speak in English and the word "nirodha" (commonly translated as "cessation") does not necessarily mean "extinction". On this occasion, Ven Mahasi Sayadaw appears not in error. The only sin is pr...

Re: Depedent Origination by Ven Mahasi sayadaw

Thank you for your comments. But my question is the Mahasi claims "There is no teaching that says: “With the extinction of feeling, craving ceases to exist.” His Arahant example is not apply to this, because it concerns "with the arising of feeling, [there's choice]" as explain in the...
