Access to Insight has a handy index of suttas here . The icon on the top-left of the page is also a drop-down menu with an option that provides...

Re: when is the end of suffering?
Hi all, When do you think is the end of suffering, With Non-returnership, Aharantship or at Parinibbana? I personally think it is when you realise Non-returnership. Because the roots of sensual desire and aversion are cut off. I can't think of any stress that would arise in a Nonreturners mind. The...

Re: Is Buddhism strictly monogamous?
I was wondering: non-monogamous relationship forms like polyamory are increasingly common and personally I think love shared is love multiplied. I wonder however if this is against the Dhamma or if it is compatible? See also: https://www.morethantwo.com/ That may be true but it is also desire multi...

Re: Greetings from Melbourne
Hello again. Anyone know of strong temples or monasteries to sit in Thailand, say Bangkok, Chiang Mai, or elsewhere? For instance the bophit at Wat Po is one where it's easy to sit. Thanks for any shared tips, I'm going on a travel. Yes, Wat Mahathat in Bangkok. If you are in Chiang Mai you should ...

Re: Sotapanna & past kamma-vipaka
A post from SarathW made me think: What Sotapanna assures is free from lower life. (Apaya) In other words, he will be free from the bad Kamma which he was done in the past which will take him to lower life. Since we must "own" our kamma ("I am the owner of actions [kamma]" AN 5....

Re: Did Buddha give a raw deal to Susima?
