Sutta where buddha refused to step on a carpet
Hi can anyone help me track down the sutta where the buddha refused to step on a carpet that was rolled out for him?
Someone told me today that monks are not allowed to step on white cloth, which sounds made up to me.

Re: Meat processing job
In terms of the Suttas, I think it falls under wrong livelihood just to be in the business of handling meat. It also seems to be risky with the pandemic. It is smelly work with lots of stress and not much pay. If I had to take a job like that I'd do it, though, because I have my people I take care ...

Re: Nanamoli's sanhkara
Hi I have done more study and I now have a fair degree of certainty that when Ajahn Nyanamoli refers to sankhara, he is referring it in the way that Ven. Nanavira did; the word sankhāra, in all contexts , means 'something that something else depends on', that is to say a determination (determinant).

Essence of buddhas teaching diagram
Hello
There is a lot of confusion about Buddha dhamma in my opinion.
I just wanted to offer this little diagram that attempts to sum up Buddha dhamma in a simple way.
In the hope that it might be useful to at least one other person

Re: The awareness itself is the unconditioned
A particular, very senior scholar monk once replied to me when i asked him this question thus : The “one who knows” or citta is really just the experience of knowing, there is no construct there. A verb and not a noun. It is only to be considered conditioned in that it is part of samsara. It is not ...

Re: Saddhānusārī or Dhammānusārī
I guess you should have included "Sotapanna" as one of the options, lol.
As for myself, I suppose I am a dhammanusari.

Re: Dhamma appreciation, (e)x hippy
Yeah, buddhism being open about such things makes it much more accessible to the western mindset. Almost everyone I know , when I mention being buddhist, says something like, "Oh, buddhism is cool, it's more of a philosophy than a religion right? " And I just say "Sure, yeah," ha...

Nanamoli's sanhkara
To the Esteemed Sutta Experts here,
sankharas = nothing other than dhammas that you've taken to be yours?
That is my understanding of how Ajahn Nanamoli ( the Younger, that is, of Hillside Hermitage) translates "Sankharas"
Is that supportable in the Suttas?
Thanks
