Dhamma Wheel

I wonder in English language how many monks are teaching against abhidhamma/Mahayana approach? It seems that is only Dhammavuddho bhikkhu, may be Sujato bhikkhu as well...

Do you even bother to read and understand a person's position before opening your mouth? I've explained my position clearly in the link above. From the quotes you provided, it's clear you didn't read what I wrote, and you don't understand the difference between what Ajahn Brahm and the other two tea...

Noble silence has another meaning in another context beside the usual 2nd jhana context. Ven. Bodhi's note citing the Comy's ...

I tried several times to understand your posts on this forum and in the blog. I have the feeling I'm reading a draft where somebody writes his thoughts from time to time: a sentence now, a sentence next week, few words next month. There is no integrity, no clear presentation of what is your point a...

V&V💭: vitakka & vicāra Vitakka 💭 = directed thought. Vicāra 🕵️ = the evaluation of that very same directed thought, not a separate train of thought.

Bhikkhu Anālayo's mistranslation of V&V

How does B.A. translated V&V?
