Dear Lal,
Thank you for your monumental effort and time to develop and maintain this valuable Dhamma website. Also thank you for accepting me into the forum.
When I read your Colors are mind made (Due to kama sanna) post, I got the following question:
Does this notion that color is not an inherent property of objects in the world but merely an artifact created in the viewer’s mind contradict with the Buddha’s teaching about the suddhashtaka (pure octad) consisting of pathavi, apo, tejo, vayo, vanna, gandha, rasa and oja (see Buddhist Theory of Matter – Fundamentals)
I would be grateful to you if you could clarify this form me?
Thank you.
Ajith
