Q1. May I inquire if ajjhatta kaya and bahidda kaya are the same as ajjhatta vinnana and bahidda vinnana?
Q2. If they are not, are ajjhatta kaya and bahidda kaya the same as ajjhatta ayatana and bahidda ayatana?
Q3. If neither is the case, could you please explain what ajjhatta kaya and bahidda kaya are, as well as what ajjhatta vinnana and bahidda vinnana are?
Previously, I judged this issue to be too subtle and not directly helpful to my practice, so I didn’t inquire further despite my curiosity. However, recently someone else asked about this matter, and I told them that I would ask Lal about it.
P1. One point I would like to highlight is that in the figure of “Upaya and Upādāna – Two Stages of Attachment” post, it is stated that even an Arahant experiences bahidda vinnana, whereas in the #5 of “Purāna and Nava Kamma – Sequence of Kamma Generation” post, it is stated that an Arahant does not experience it, which is a contradiction.
I would appreciate it if Ven. Lal could resolve this issue.
