Johnny,
Enjoyed alot your last paragraph.
You said :”…thereby altering the characteristic of its original form.”
Original or previous? Because “original” suggests core essence.
Lal,
I hope you don’t mind if i insist on the following : when i started formal practice some years ago it didn’t take long to notice by myself that something was wrong (or at least incomplete) with the way of practising Insight Meditation, Vipassana, whatever. Call it intuition, i don’t know. Then a bit later in my practice when i discovered Satipattana Sutta i glimpsed the possibility of practising what i called at that moment something like “guided contemplation on vital buddhist themes” – as we are doing here but less structured…
AS for the 5 discourses yes i read them all and because i read them all i question again :
– What’s exactly the difference…if any… between Anicca and Anatta ?
Thank you
