Re: Nibbana as a dhamma in Classical Theravāda
Anihilationism was considered by Buddha to be the best of the wrong views. I can't recall Buddha said like this. There is a sutta that states that, but I can't think of it offhand. Probably one of the MN suttas. :anjali: Mike Perhaps AN 10.29? The MN ones (60 & 74) also certainly point that way...

Re: What does it mean to have no views?
There is also another sutta (that I'd be glad if someone could provide the reference for; Zom I think you've posted it before) whose message is similar to the raft simile: one desires something and once one has achieved the goal of that desire, the desire fades...something like that. Possibly, SN 5...

Re: Hi from Queensland Australia
Hello Carl, Welcome. There is a knowledgeable professor in University of Queensland that you might want to investigate. He is called Roderick Bucknell. He was ordained under Buddhadasa (a prominent Thai monk) and disrobed afterwards. He has also written and translated a few books and is kind person ...

Re: Stranded On An Island
I'd invite this man.
But answering the question, I think I'd take only one item. A survival book that doesn't require any man-made items. It would teach how to make tools, huts, etc. from scratch.

Re: what bothers you among world issues?
Whether I bother with them or not, they will be there anyway. I save myself from worrying about them. Many of them are due to wrong decisions being made by massive numbers of people. On this scale, only instruction and education can help. So, what can I do? The only thing I can do is prevent myself ...

A Comparative Study of the Majjhima-nikāya by Anālayo
Fellow Dhamma Wheelers,
For anyone who's interested, Anālayo's publication page has just been updated with the two volumes of A Comparative Study of the Majjhima-nikāya. Here are the direct links for them: Vol. 1, Vol. 2

Re: In matters of taste, there can be no disputes
I vaguely recall there being a sutta where 5 kings each claim that one of the senses is chief, and then the Buddha comes along and sets them straight but I forget how. If anyone knows the reference and any other relevant references, it would be appreciated. The discourse you mention is SN 3.12 (Fiv...

Re: In matters of taste, there can be no disputes
The gist of the following verse reflects the idea that is present in that saying: The passion for his resolves is a man's sensuality, not the beautiful sensual pleasures found in the world. The passion for his resolves is a man's sensuality. The beauties remain as they are in the world, while the wi...

Re: Differences between the Pāḷi Nikāyas & Chinese Āgamas
Hi there, this is my 1st post. Some part of my research is comparing, directly to Pali and Chinese (Taisho), Mahānidāna Sutta (大緣方便經) in Nikāyas and Āgamas. Briefly, main structure of suttas are similar but details. To consider which part is true or fault, we have to research in other suttas which ...
