I think it is adequate post.

Lal said:
“What I am saying is that we cannot just focus on the rupakkhandha.
– Attachment to rupa cannot be dissociated from those mental aspects arising from the contacts among external and internal rupa.

That is why it is “panca upadana khandha” that is dukkha, not just “rupa upadana khandha.””

It gives me quite a lot of insight. You might want to add this to the post so that everyone else can see it.

The point I’m confused about is not the difference between punna kamma and kusala kamma. What I’m confused about is the connection between kusala mula PS and kusala kamma. The description of the process in which dasa kusala happens is kusala mula PS. Is it right? If it’s right, kusala kamma are done with kusala mula sankara, and it can’t be done with punnabhisankara. Therefore, “in the discourse lal said: 34:06 Immoral deeds or dasa akusala are done with apunnabhisankara or bad thoughts in our minds. Good deeds or kusala kamma are done with punnabhisankara.” is kind of inconsistency. Because kusala kamma can not be done with punnabhisankara.

In the discourse lal said:
34:06 Immoral deeds or dasa akusala are done with apunnabhisankhara or bad thoughts in our minds. Good deeds or kusala kamma are done with punnabhisankhara.

And 36:53
So, it is important to make this connection. Our sankhara and specifically abhisankhara lead to future lives based on whether they involve dasa akusala or dasa kusala.
–
But I learned in here, kusala kamma is different with punna kamma. Punna kamma are done with unnabhisankara, kusala kamma are done by kusala mula sankara.

So it kind of confuses me. Are dasa kusala and kusala kamma in different context of each?

Thanks for the answer lal

Thank you for your kind explanation even though it’s quite a sensitive subject. It brought me a lot of insight. I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time now, but I’ve put it off until now because I’m afraid it’ll be an insult to Ariya.

Thank you for your explanation. I’m looking forward to the new series.

While reading Nettippakarana, I found the following phrase.

Dasa kasiṇāyatanāni pathavīkasiṇaṁ āpokasiṇaṁ tejokasiṇaṁ vāyokasiṇaṁ nīlakasiṇaṁ pītakasiṇaṁ lohitakasiṇaṁ odātakasiṇaṁ ākāsakasiṇaṁ viññāṇakasiṇaṁ. Tattha yañca pathavīkasiṇaṁ yañca āpokasiṇaṁ evaṁ sabbaṁ, yañca odātakasiṇaṁ. Imāni aṭṭha kasiṇāni samatho. Yañca ākāsakasiṇaṁ yañca viññāṇakasiṇaṁ, ayaṁ vipassanā. Evaṁ sabbo ariyo maggo yena yena ākārena vutto, tena tena samathavipassanena yojayitabbo.

I have already read the contents of the thread and understood what was mentioned.

But I want to understand the rest of part. What do’nīlakasiṇaṁ pītakasiṇaṁ lohitakasiṇaṁ odātakasiṇaṁ’ stand for?

How do blue, yellow, red, white kasina actually work in Buddhist meditation? I’d like to know the connection of color kasina and samatha bhavana.
