“The perspective that I had about bahiya suttā was that Bahiya understood that adding san to sensory experience is what causes dukkhā.”
It is more than that.
- One adds “san” to the sensory experience because of the wrong view of “me” and “mine.” That is sakkaya ditthi.
- Of course, the perception (sanna) of “me” and “mine” reduces gradually and goes away entirely only at the Arahant stage.
