Thanks for your reply sir!

I’ll refer to the bullet number in the next question. I apologize for making you search.

(if you don’t know the keyboard shortcut ‘Ctrl + f’, I suggest using it. It’s good to find a certain word/sentence on the website easily)

Now I got a sense of the cetasika paññā more clearly.

Paññā has a very special position in the six sobhanas as it only appears in the beginning lokottara path. (Sotāpanna Anugāmi)

That means, before becoming Ariya (while in the mundane path), puthujjanō has just mundane Samma Ditthi, not paññā.

Of course, mundane Samma Ditthi is the base for reaching super mundane Samma Ditthi, but it can’t be considered as ‘paññā’ directly.

Thanks for your reply, but I still don’t get why did you say as below. I pasted your explanation once again.

“Of course, those(_6 cetasikas contains Paññā in the post I/me linked_)  are developed to some extent when someone lives one’s life morally, but they will NEVER grow to higher stages until one understands anicca, dukkha, and anatta, at least to some extent.”

This mentioning makes me think like Paññā also can be developed to lower level via lives in moral life without understanding tillakkhana. this is the spot all the issue/curiousity came from.

the word ‘someone‘ in the sentence ‘when someone lives one’s life morally’ = puthujjana, am I right?

As I said above in the first, I thought ‘paññā cetasika can be arising after get the basic concept about Buddha Dhamma(e.g., anicca) with becoming one of the 8 Ariyas only.’ I totally agree that It’s impossible for puthujjanō to have paññā, even a trace of it as you said, and that’s the reason of I can’t understand the explanation you wrote below:

“Of course, those are developed to some extent when someone lives one’s life morally, but they will NEVER grow to higher stages until one understands anicca, dukkha, and anatta, at least to some extent.”

 

I hope you understand why I paste the same sentence again and again.

I just want to make the issue/curiosity to be more clear, and I’m so sorry for my bad English.
