Thank you Triple Gem ,
I find it really inspiring, the work that you are putting in. My energy too is now aroused reading your post. Isnt this what is expected from these forums? I am very happy i could come across Lal Sirs Website.
Anyway , in the above posts, from my side , i was forced into contemplating a technicality , due to Lal Sirs first reply. In few words, it is this:
- Vedana We feel. Right? Sukha, Dukha or AsukhamAdukham. (The third one the elders say, is very difficult to track, and one has to track it like, tracking an animal through its foot prints)
- But obivously , studying Dhamma, we all can sense a far more deeper Dukha than that which is included in Vedana, which i call(borrowing Lal Sirs Lessons) as Dukkha with a double K.
Now the difficult question for me was , do I “feel” it? or “understand” it? ( The Deeper Dukkha?). All my answers (right or wrong) came by-themselves after going into this question. This question, subtly comes up in Lal Sirs first reply. I beg , not to consider my second reply as an option , against this question, because this question yeilds far more richer(truer) answers than i came up with. What I called as “understanding” seems to be more deeper, richer than i so carelessly thought. But this is not like a specific thread one “must” pursue. If it comes while contemplating “Dukkha” it comes. So i think.
PS: To go through , Lal Sirs references on Sanna, that is still pending form my side. I am held up on the posts on “sati”. This reply is only to thank and more imp , serve as sort of an audit trail, to understand why this question, atleast to me is important and a bit complex one.
Regards.
