Re: sutta jhana and vipassana jhana
Perhaps Jhana could be like a knife cut both ways. The Noble Eightfold Path (Vipassana) is called "Samma Samadhi" or "right concentration "to differentiate it from other types of Jhana. Well what makes a Jhāna "right or wrong" isn't the experience but in how its viewed...

Re: "If we owned our body, it would obey our every command"
Isn't Vinaya's code for monks to control them?
If we can't control why does Buddha impose the Vinaya code?

Re: If we can't control the five clinging-aggregate, how do we attain Nibbana?
If we can't control the five clinging-aggregate, how do we attain Nibbana? By not trying to control them. Trying to control is just more clinging. That’s why it says: it is not possible to have it of consciousness: ‘Let my consciousness be thus; let my consciousness not be thus.’ Otherwise it’s lik...

Re: "If we owned our body, it would obey our every command"
Hello, I keep running into this statement in Ajahn Chah's teachings. I don't understand the logic. To me this sounds like a logical fallacy, because it doesn't matter what kind of thing you own, it just does not follow that said thing will 'obey your commands', especially if it's not even a being o...

Re: The three aggregates are not included under the noble eightfold path, friend Visakha, but the noble eightfold path i
The noble eightfold path is included under the skandhas. Like every path and every action. I only wish to note here about critsizing the bikkhu Seelavimala (sermoning in video) may have made a mistake or may not have. Yet after listening to the video that his sermon tallied exactly with the sinhala...

Re: Dhp. 97
I think many of us do not understand the meaning of Saddha. The translation of faith seems inappropriate. Saddha means accepting on faith. In Canki Sutta it is explained as "safeguarding the truth" Saddha is the mental state of a person who has not fully understood the teaching. When you f...
