Dear venerable Lal, and other readers 🙏🏻
Very grateful for your response. Thank you for using words of encouragement.
On this issue of using step-by-step wisdom to see sense-pleasure as a fire, the excellent article of ‘Lōbha, Dōsa, Mōha versus Rāga, Paṭigha, Avijjā’ was studied today. It makes so many things clear. There is one point on which I have a question:
The article reads, ‘All pañca nīvaraṇa were permanently removed at the Sōtapanna stage.’ Is there not perhaps a typo/mistake here? Perhaps the 5 hindrances can temporarily be removed at sotapanna stage?
Thank you for using the time that you have available to you to freely offer wisdom, insight and understanding. With much gratitude to the holy Sangha.
