Proper translations of these passages should give you a clue: (this has been covered as length earlier). ________ In SN 47.8: Ajjhattaṃ vā kāye kāyānupassī viharāhi. Internally, he fetches distinctively the body (breath*) that is capable to be perceived, in the body. * Breath, as conceived in the ti...

Etymologically fallacious material like the above is the last thing that someone struggling with the Dhamma needs. You haven't even take the time to read and check. Trolling as usual. People just have to search ToVincent and Coemgenu to realise how desperate are your harried ways. https://www.dhamm...

I'd like to meditate according to the instruction in the Anapana sutta. However, I could only follow the preliminary part where you breathe in and out mindfully. Let's get things straight. First, there is no long/short breath, or deep/shallow breath. Only high & low breathes. In the case of the...

:namaste: Because it's your own. It's internal. Pīti for instance, (prīti - act. prī), is about being contented with oneself - as in a "propitiative pleasure" (RV. ĀśvGṛ. MBh.), that reconciles one with himself and appeases him. Add serenity/confidence (passaddha/pra-śrabdha) to that pīti...

.... What ToVincent knows, is that in your litany of (useless, apart the MW) Sanskrit dictionaries, there is no pre-Buddhist references. No solid references - period. Even if you search abhidhyai (abhi-√dhyai) in the MW, you won't find in the ŚBr for instance, such meaning for it as "desire&qu...

ToVincent, please don't tell lies about actual real translators (unlike you) plagiarizing, then you won't have to go on these rants afterwards. I really don't care whether or not you think I look ridiculous. Then AGAIN, tell me in which (serious) Pali (or Sanskrit) dictionaries one can find the mea...

:zzz: How wonderful it would be to be as fancy as "a Māra." I'm rather unfancy, in truth. Your usual preposterous claptrap, does not make "abhijjhā" = "covetousness", a sure thing though — just another harried chronically nonsense. Ludicrous! :redherring: ----- Woodwar...

“Everyone I don’t like is Mara” No! - Everyone that think that everything is sensory, is mara. ----- And "abhijjhā"* does not mean "covetousness" - no more than "do-manassa" means "displeasure". And loke is a locative. abhijjhā：(cf. abhi-jhāyati - Pali & ...

... Please, stop being hysterical about proper translations. I have already told you that it leads you to mere biased logic: https://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?p=680874&hilit=Co%C3%ABmgenu#p680874 Abhijjhā-domanassāna does not mean "covetousness and displeasure in regard to the worl...

... However, most of the time Bhikkhu Bodhi, Bhikkhu Sujato, and Thanissaro Bhikkhu are quite consistent, so if you see "stress" in a TB translation you know it's dukkha, and so on... I'll give you an example of the contrary: "loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ". (e.g.) Bhikkhu Bodhi somet...

2. The source of agama also came from the 1st council .

It is not conditioned as you assumed that i would translate it . Good to hear. ----- Now, as far as the Agamas are concerned, I could care less about the meanings the Chinese translators gave to their translations. Didn't Buddha say that his Teaching would be corrupted 500 years after his death? (A...

It seems Portuguese has a better translation for this part . As far as "napi aññesaṁ" (nāpyanyeṣām) is concerned, it might indeed be better to translate it by "nor does it belong to others". As in "this body does not belong to you, nor anyone can say that their body belong ...

You must see it as past kamma, formed by conditions ,... Hi Lucas. Let me take this example in the translation that you are refering to: There is no "condition" in the meaning of saṅkhata. There is nothing "conditioned" in the definition of saṅkhata. Once and for all. Khata in s...
