But just like the "whole" doesn't exist as noumenon, same with concepts.

Yes, I concur.

Awareness is an English word. Perhaps you could explain a bit more about what you mean by awareness and then someone can tell you whether there's a corresponding Pali term, and what it is, and how it's used.

Greetings Alex, The idea of "transport" is sanna. Sanna existed in the past and it exists in the present (if there are required conditions for it). Right, so why are some people willing to accept the (anicca, anatta, dukkha compliant) existence of sanna, yet turn around and deny the existe...

Greetings Hunter, In Theravada, consciousness is always "consciousness of something". It is not a "thing" called consciousness which sits there glowing away. There is eye-consciousness, ear-consciousness, tongue-consciousness, nose-consciousness, body-consciousness, mind-consciou...

Greetings, Concepts, like atta, do not exist. It is just a conglomeration of thoughts that DO exist and are anicca, dukkha and anatta.

It's hard to say for sure with poetic / graphic descriptions.

Greetings, If the quality of the Dhamma was determined by popular vote, then this may have some practical use. However, since realistically it's not, this functionality is only likely to create tension and turn the art of posting into a popularity contest. That said, I don't know how we could do it ...

I was hoping to end the discussion on a positive note since we are now entering the stage of simply reiterating our positions, which is not much of a discussion anymore...

No worries, thanks for being direct.

Greetings pt1, Hm, there's a possibility we in fact think alike(!) - work with me here - since I think that concepts are simply not an aspect of conditioned existence (being illusory and all), then it makes no difference to me whether you think concepts are included or not (I mean, it's irrelevant w...
