In case Dukkha (double k) conveys suffering which can be overcome, then it fits in like a glove with the First Sacca which is about the “Future Suffering”
And therefore as Lal Sir, says: (“Does First NT Describe only suffering”): –
“birth is suffering (that can be overcome). Getting old is suffering (that can be overcome). Sickness is suffering (that can be overcome). Death is suffering (that can be overcome)..”.
Whereas I have submitted “ It is Dukkha itself is perceived as Sukham, Dukham, and the AdukhamaSukham. i.e,….(using Lal Sirs, tools, to fine tune my submission):-
This forces us to answer:
- How can Dukkha be felt as Sukha, Dukha and AdukhamaSukha
- If so “Where” is it “Felt” or is it something which is “understood”/”wisdom”?
- Is everything Dukkha? If so “what” is overcome and “how”?
Whereas, my submissions in continuation of the first post, are:
- Dukkha with a Double K, is felt as Sukha when it is serviced (one mode of concealment) well, as Dukha when cannot be further tolerated (glitch in the concealment) and as Adukhamasukha when totally concealed up by ignorance.
- It is Felt (in body and mind) and can be understood in Mind
- Yes Everything is Dukkha, without any qualifications. Dukkha with a double k- is overcome in toto(no more) by the Arahant, while Dukha of Mind which comes from Dukkha with a Double K , is overcome by others. Arahant overcomes it by Nibbana, others start to overcome it, gradually(from Dukha in Mind to Dukkha with Doible K), through vision and practise (8 fold path).
- Only When Eveything is Dukkha , that there is absolutely Nothing to Cling to. That is the vision.
Therefore , that everything is suffering (without any qualifications, either in its defintion of Dukkha or coverage) is the “Vision which starts to set free” – without any qualifications. That “this” is Dukkha is itself the Wisdom which set one, on the path to freedom.
In which case :
“birth is suffering {that is overcome by seeing RIGHT NOW (as Dukha) & that can be overcome IN FUTURE (Dukkha with a double K) } and so on and so forth with aging, sickness , death etc….
Come on sirs, I literally beg to learn more. Fine tune it more. I will feel delighted if someone corrects it. Dont be silent on this novice bhikkhu! Lord will not like it. Didint you read about Thera Cūlapanthaka? He too was good for nothing like me, when he joined the Order.
