Pinnaduwage Sir Thanks a lot! Your energy and drive are something to be truly jealous of. If you were in India, I would be roaming about your house, to learn from you. And I would have kept nagging you a lot , because it’s a lot easier to nag in person than online.
By the way many Srilankan Cricketers seem to be Pinnaduwage Sir? Aravinda de silva , the Mad Max of cricket, Hasaranga, Chaturanga De Silva……hmmmm.
Anyway Sir, Venerable Waharaka Thera says, in one of the videos with English subs, that the Lord had the power to quickly identify the technique most suitable for a person depending on his or her inclinations/strengths (shradda, virya, sati, pragna). He used to preach to that person accordingly and they attained Magga Phala instantly.
For instance, Sanna Vipallasa Or Adinava( as elucidated by you as Health Issues), should be sufficient for those with high Pragna perhaps, to overcome the habit/desire. I do not have faith, nor wisdom , nor virya. But I can “sense”, somehow as though as I have done it (known it) before.
Obviously , we cant expect everyone to get connected to everything, in toto.
However Is there a broad or a standard framework prescribed by the Vaijja (the Great Doctor) for those who are willing to learn and work on it? Not just cigarette but breaking free of Sensual Pleasures as such?
From that template as a platform, perhaps one can proceed, progress, internalize.
Of course I am not expecting any spoon feeding Sir (not that I will complain if provided), but a Standard Framework? Is it there Sir?
