Thank you, TGS and Lang.
Yes. Some of the points you pointed out are incorrect and need fixing. That is why I thought of writing a new post first. Then (or concurrently), I will revise the relevant posts. Please post anything else contradictory you find on this thread.
Incorrect and needs fixing:
“5. However, this sōmanassa vēdanā that arises due to kāma guṇa are NOT the “samphassa-jā-vēdanā.” Somanassa vēdanā due to kāma guṇa arises in an Arahant, as well as in an average human.”
Correct:
1. “Under #29933 above, Lal wrote:
I have confirmed that many times. Yes, An Arahant would taste that meal to be tasty.”
- But there is no attachment to that taste.
- It is just that the “sweetness” or “saltiness” in not a vedana but a “sanna”.
2. “Kāma Guṇa do not arise in an Arahant.”
“Somanssa and domanassa are both created by the mind based on Kāma Guṇa. Thus, they do not arise in an Arahant.”
- Somanassa/domanassa vedana do not arise in an Arahant. Only sukha/dukha vedana can arise in an Arahant.
