Perhaps this is the Samma Sankappa.

According to agama , the meaning is right knowing . Yes. This probably depends on the "sam". I am guessing the "sam" means "together with" or "co" or "co-joined", i.e., having "understanding" ("pajāna") of ("together with&qu...

Consummate understanding

Yes. I can be. I previously thought this but changed my mind, today.

Why did Ven. Sujato choose "situational awareness" over the more typical "clear comprehension?" -- any ideas on that? Has he ever spoken of that? In notes? Ven. Thanissaro prefers "alertness" For me, Ven. Thanissaro has overly generalised & Westernized with "a...

Or is there a better word for it ? The Pali is saṃ + pajāna. For me, "pajāna" here means "understanding" or "is understood". I like the translation quoted below: "familiar with". I would not use the translation of "knows" or "awareness" be...

Its given in Sutta, buddha directed his mind to cause of stress etc and found the truth and he did after going in jhana and emerging in it 1. SN 12.10 says the Buddha discovered to cause of stress etc without jhana. 2. Regardless, even if the Buddha did discover the cause of stress etc using jhana,...

Sorry but I think you are being lazy.

Sorry but no. I will not post it. You made a post recently where you did not even spell "dhamma" correctly, three times. It is part of the practice of sila to not cause trouble for others.

taking about jhana when we do not even know what jhana is is not idhipadda

This forum is in the English language and I assume uses standard Romanised Pali. When are you going to stop posting Romanised versions of Sri Lankan words? There is no Makubawa in the Pali suttas.

37 dhammas less those duplicated are: 1. right view 2. right faith 3. right zeal (chandha) 4. right thought/intention 5. right speech 6. right action 7. right livelihood 8. right effort 9. right mindfulness 10. right investigation (dhamma vicaya) 11. right concentration 12. right tranquility 13. rig...

A key theme the Buddha repeatedly emphasized was determinations Hi. The word 'sankhara' in the suttas (together with the word 'dhamma') probably has the largest amount of different meanings. It does not always mean 'determinations'. Also, the English word 'determinations' is a very strange translat...

Based on the above, your theory in your previous post that "saññāviññāṇa" means "discriminations towards consciousness" appears wrong. If this was correct, "saññāviññāṇa" would 'parikkhaya' instead of 'saṅkhaya'. For now, you appear to owe Bhikkhus Bodhi & Sujato a...

In plain English, how can we differentiate between saṅkhaya & parikkhaya? saṃ˚ indeclinable prefix, implying conjunction & completeness; saṃ˚; is after vi˚; (19') the most frequent (16') of all Pāli prefixes. Its primary meaning is “together” pari a prefix denoting completion all round; alt...
