I am glad to hear about your experience. Yes. You were on the track thanks to the concepts you learned from Waharaka Thero.

  • Your thought process illustrates an important point about the working of the mind described by Paticca Samuppada.
  • You may want to think (or you may have already thought about) the steps in Paticca Samuppada that describe how a person can be ‘born’ in the mindset of an animal by pursuing such thoughts.  If he carries out an attack per the plan, he would be temporarily acting like a vicious animal. Such actions also generate potent kammic energies that can lead to a future rebirth as an animal of such vicious gati.

Your plan sounds good. Don’t hesitate to ask questions if anything is unclear.
