Re: New book: Motivation and Effort in Buddhist Soteriology
This book is really good, I recommend it.
"Does Master Gotama have any position at all?"
"A 'position,' Vaccha, is something that a Tathagata has done away with. What a Tathagata sees is this: 'Such is form, such its origination, such its disappearance; such is feeling, such its origination, such its disappearance; such is perception...such are fabrications...such is consciousness, such its origination, such its disappearance.'" - Aggi-Vacchagotta Sutta
'Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return.' - Genesis 3:19
'Some fart freely, some try to hide and silence it. Which one is correct?' - Saegnapha

I skipped straight to the sections on Iddhipādā and Sammappadhānā, 6.1 and 6.2.

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Re: New book: Motivation and Effort in Buddhist Soteriology
Yes chapter 6 is my favorite too. I also liked 2.2 Self-Stimulation (Bhava-Tanhā) and 2.3 Depression (Vibhava-Tanhā). and chpter 5 about meditation and 5.4 Self-Awareness (Sati & Pañña). I didn't skip!Pseudobabble wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 9:41 am I skipped straight to the sections on Iddhipādā and Sammappadhānā, 6.1 and 6.2.
