Very good. I have made a few revisions.
- Regarding “First. Freedom from pañca nivārana“: This does not mean a Sotapanna has permanently removed pañca nivārana. At the moment of realizing the Sotapanna phala, one’s mind temporarily transcends “kāma saññā” and gets into the Satipaṭṭhāna Bhūmi. That is the first time ever that one will be without any type of “distorted saññā.” However, one may not realize it if the mind remains there only for a brief time. I set the background for that discussion in the new post “Growth of Pañcupādānakkhandha – ‘Anusotagāmi’.” More details in the next post.
- The following will be discussed in later posts: A Sotapanna can cultivate the Satipatthana and return to the Satipaṭṭhāna Bhūmi. With practice, one can remain longer there, contemplate Dhamma concepts without interference from “distorted saññā” and attain higher magga phala.
