Re: Buddha nature

Does this mean
that we don't have the seed of
enlightenment within us.
Not unless we attain stream entry, we won't.

Re: What does viññāṇa exactly means?

Here is an alternative interpretation of SN 22.9 At Savatthi. "Bhikkhus, consciousness is impermanent, both of the past and the future, not to speak of the present. Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple is indifferent towards consciousness of the past; he does not seek delight i...

Re: Is the Buddhs sexist

The Buddha disagrees with you. The bhikkhuni Dhammadinna taught the Dhamma to the lay follower Visakha. What i meant was that women can not become self-enlightened (Buddha), teach self-discovered dhamma and establish a sangha. There's a reason why not a single woman is known to have founded any rel...

Re: Is the Buddhs sexist

But about saying women
can never be the self enlighten one
-- it is something he could not have
said right?
No religious doctrine is expounded by a woman, dhamma should be no exception.

Re: Trouble Falling Asleep

Laying there isn't as bad as the sleep debt which affects me the next day.
its hard to fall asleep with mind full of thoughts and with mind having no thoughts at all. If you can get your breathing steady and very fine (almost undetectable), you might be able to fall asleep.

Re: What does bhāvanā mean?

What does bhāvanā mean?
Apart from pali bhāvanā (sanskrit, bhāvana), bhāvanā (sanskrit, bhāvanā ) is also a Hindi word that means "sentiment" (strictly a thought prompted by passion or feeling).

Re: New Bhikkhu Bodhi Interview

I just believe that the complete overwhelming volume of suttas telling the bhikkhus to strive for arahantship, vis-a-vis the complete absence of instances in the Tipitaka (to the best of my knowledge) where the Buddha encourages bhikkhus to lead up or participate in charity work to feed or clothe t...
