” Ugga was an anagami and could live with 4 women without feeling the slightest desire.”
- Yes, that seems like a miracle. Most people do not understand this aspect of Buddha’s teachings.
- Some people attained the Anagami (and even Arahant) stages of Nibbana by listening to a single discourse by the Buddha. By the time they leave, they have lost all sexual urges. How is that possible?
- It is an aspect that cannot be explained by modern medical science. His testosterone or any other “medical characteristic associated with the sexual urge” would not have changed. That is because it was a mental phenomenon. “Sexual urge” was an illusion (distorted saññā), and he was able to overcome that illusion: “Fooled by Distorted Saññā (Sañjānāti) – Origin of Attachment (Taṇhā).”
- That is precisely what we have been discussing under “Worldview of the Buddha”
