- I read the revised post “[Correct Meaning of Vacī Sankhāra]” and this post is very helpful for me. I would like to thank Ven.Lal _()_
- In #49659, I asked “Are savitakka/savicara and Vipassna synonymous?”
- As I read the post, it seems that savitakka/savicara and Vipassna are not synonymous.
The post says,
“A higher version of savitakka and savicāra is represented by “Sammā Saṅkappa.” While savitakka and savicāra represent “moral thoughts” by any person, “Sammā Saṅkappa” can arise only in a Noble Person.” (Correct Meaning of Vacī Sankhāra #3)
- This part completely resolved my suspicions.
- And I think,
- Vipassana is associated with Samma Ditthi.
- Vipassana is strengthens Samma Ditthi even more.
- Savitakka and savicara is based on Samma Ditthi(lokiya or lokuttara).
Is my understanding correct?

Thanks Lal.
I will read the revised post carefully and ask if I have any questions.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
Thank you for your response.
If so, is patience(titikkhati) here related to impulses? For example, like enduring a moment of instant anger.
Thank you very much for your kind reply.
Some Buddhists said that Lord Buddha banned making his statue. This is not true, is it?
I deeply appreciate your kind response.
I’ll read the posts you’ve linked carefully.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
Thank you for correcting my answer format clearly. I will also pay more attention next time.<br />
Ven. Lal said :– Kammic energy causes human bodies to produce a “bad smell” for feces because human birth originated from “good kamma.” Furthermore, if a human eats feces, he/she will get sick. The human physical body arises that way due to kammic influence.
Your explanation gives me great insight. Through your response, I understood as follows.
My understanding is :
1. Worldly things made of pathavi, apo, tejo, and vayo do not have an absolute good or bad qualities, but kamma has an inherent good or bad.(puñña, kusala kamma/papa, akusala kamma) Then, kammic energy creates a rupa (physical body) and a distorted sañña.
2. Rotten things are not inherently bad characteristics, but Humans are set up to recognize dirty and rotten things as bad, because human birth is caused by “good kamma“. And, a pig birth is set up to recognize dirty and rotten things as good because it is caused by “bad kamma”.
Is my understanding correct?

Hi, Gad.
Thank you for sharing your experience.It’s shocking that there’s such a cruel story in the Bible. I’ll look it up.
I also have no desire to denigrate other religions, too. Because that’s the mindset of dosa/patigha. That’s akusala kamma!
And I have several Christians around me. I want to get along with them, without a quarrel or argument.
I think that’s the true meaning of “sāmīcippaṭipanno(pleasant to associate)”I just wanted to know the difference. And thanks to your explanation, I have a clearer understanding of mettā.
Thank you, guys :)
May we all attain the supreme bliss of Nibbana…. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu! 🙏
Lal says
“The deeper one comprehends the issue of suffering, the deeper the ‘Mettā’ one can generate for all beings, as Dawson pointed out.”
This sentence is very important to me. As you mentioned, Mettā is deelpy related to samsaric suffering. I thought of mettānussati in this part.
“Mettānussati is to keep in mind always that all living beings are in the same boat, suffering in the long run, and thus to have compassionate thoughts about all of them.”
Anussati and Anupassanā – Being Mindful and Removing Defilements
Thanks to you, my understanding has become clearer.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
Your reply gives me great insight!
Dawson say,
“No, because someone would feel ‘God’s love’ on account of taking the pancakkhanda as being of nicca, sukha, and atta nature. As such, they would also have micca ditthi.”
Right. A living being that Buddha Dhamma refers to is a ‘collection of pancakkhandha’.
On the other hand, a living being that Christianity refers to is a ‘something that has an eternal soul given by God’.
And, they feel grateful for pancakkhandha because God gave it. So, for them, pancakkhandha is considered a ‘good thing’. If then, their Love can be seen as based on Sakkaya ditthi.
I will also read the post you recommended.
Thank you, Dawson 🙏
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
I respect for your efforts.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!🙏
Yes. If I have any questions, I will write on the forum.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
Thank you very much for your detailed explanation.
it was very helpful to me :)

Thank you for your reply.
I’m also glad that you’re paying more attention to the Bhavana section.
And, I have a question.
Ne 10 : Āvaṭṭahāravibhaṅga 6.1
Tassa sampaṭivedhena rakkhaṇā paṭisaṁharaṇā, ayaṁ samatho.
When I looked it up, rakkhaṇā is protection or observance.
So, What is meant by sampaṭivedhena and paṭisaṁharaṇā ?
