Hi Lal,
I think i understand this two kinds of bhava’s. For me it is very useful to learn this. For many interpretations do miss this second kind of understanding of bhava.
The second meaning of of bhava refers to a temporary state of mind like becoming violent or depressed for many days upon a death loved one.
But i get a little bit confused when it seems bhavanga can also refer to such a temporary state of mind. You say: “On the other hand, when one’s mind is deeply affected by some event like in the examples we mentioned above, then the mind goes into a “temporary bhavanga state” corresponding to that event (“state of rage” when really angry or “state of sadness” upon the death of a loved one). We can denote this by BT”.
So it seems, but maybe i misunderstand, the second kind of bhava is the same as Bt?
Do you see what i mean? I wonder, what is the difference between the second meaning of bhava and temporary bhavanga?
kind regards,
Siebe
