Re: Commentary and BMC on saṅghādisesa
Thanks for the quote. Thullacaya, grave offense, is the closest to Saṅghādisesa. It is no light offense although of course not as severe as the sanghadisesa. As I read it in the Vibhaṅga (not the Commentary) it indicates that a lustful bhikkhu who mistakes a woman as a transexual - although she is a...

Re: Bhikkhu Bodhi on War and Thanissaro's rebuttal
Who Deserves Punishment? . Thanks for sharing, venerable. It's increasingly clear to me why this text should be kept out of the Canon. Thankfully only one version has stooped to include it. I'll now make sure to whole-heartedly dissuade others from taking it seriously. If your translation is accura...

Re: Vinaya Teaching Monasteries in Sri Lanka
[ Are you a monk? If so I'd recommend you bite the bullet and find out. The BMC details the most important ones. Some of the Commentaries' additions are truly ruinous. For example they say that Sg 2 is not committed if there is cloth between you and the woman - i.e. you can molest her as long as sh...

Re: Identity View
Buddha's comments on no self to Vacchagotta. The scripture is intended for you You have confusion Ignore this at your own peril Mod note : in this classical Theravada forum your self view beliefs are not permitted. Also your post has a flavour of karmic retribution which is against terms of service

Re: What are your ideas about Pa Auk method ?
I find it difficult to see how anyone who's read the Suttas can take a teacher seriously who says that there is ultimately no mother or father and insists they're just conventions. To me it indicates that they haven't even got mundane right view. Dhammapada Verse 62 . Ignorance Brings Suffering &qu...
