Not being virtuous myself, I'll have to leave that up to you.
Are these basic instructions about mindfulness?

Since it needs to be spelled out to you in obvious black and white:alan wrote:Nice, fijiNut. But was the sutta you posted referring to mindfulness instructions?
There are things that are the basis for the enlightenment factor of mindfulness: frequently giving careful attention [yoiniso manasikara] to them is the nutrient for the arising of the unarisen enlightenment factor of mindfulness and for the fulfillment by development of the arisen enlightenment factor of mindfulness. - SN V 65 CDB 1569.

Re: Alan Wallace on Modern Vipassana
Thanks tilt.
So the sutta fijiNut quoted: did it refer to basic mindfulness instructions?
The sutta you quoted: is it in that context?
Thanks for pointing things out in black and white. I do appreciate that.

Hi tilt,
I'm only working to understand.
Lock the thread now if it does not please you. You have that option.

Re: Alan Wallace on Modern Vipassana
Sure.
Just asking about the sutta you quoted. Context would be nice.
"It would seem so" might make sense to some, but please forgive my ignorance. I'm just learning. And you are the big expert. So for all of those reading who are still learning, would you please explain?
Thanks.

Re: Alan Wallace on Modern Vipassana
The question is do I want to type out the text in detail? No. Other things to do, and it will not change the point that yoniso manasikara is used in context of helping establish mindfulness practice. If you have Ven Bodhi's translation, it is referenced easily enough for you. Right now I have some irregular verbs to learn.alan wrote:Sure.

Re: Alan Wallace on Modern Vipassana
Interesting point about the sutta mentioned................
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html
........is that it states that this practice leads to jhana.
