That is why you better write the sentence: “Pancupādānakkhandhā are based on past experiences we adhere to.”
What is with the disliked things? We also cling to anger and angry sankhara can start anytime we get the trigger presented.
What is with the things we cling to with moha/avijja? For example some people kill a fly with a swat whenever they see a fly in the room. They do not hate the fly , but have the habit to kill this “useless and annoying thing”.
I think #11 is still wrong in the post Āsava, Anusaya, and Gati (Gathi).
“The seven types of anusaya can give rise to four types of āsava.
Ditthānusaya and vicikiccānusaya arise from ditthāsava.
Kāmarāgaanusaya and paṭighanusaya arise from kamāsava.
Bhvarāganusaya arises from bhavāsava.
Avijjānusaya and mānanusaya arise from avijjāsava.
One cannot REMOVE the other three āsava until one removes ditthāsava at the Sōtapanna stage.”The first sentence is correct, but then follows “…anusaya arise from … asava”, which is wrong. Correct is: Asava arise from anusaya.
The sutta SN 56.35 says in the english translation: 100 spears and 3 times a day. That makes 300 spears a day.
Thank you, Lal!
How can we understand ditthi cetasika? I thought ditthi is a concept word (not ultimate reality), that means “how someone sees the world”. But as asobhana cetasika it colors the citta in a certain way and it is part of the ultimate reality. Can I interpret: “with that ditthi-color one cannot correctly see the world”?
Namarupa are generated via PS. But they are rupa, thus they belong to rupakkhandha, correct? Of course all we have experienced in our lifes also belongs to rupakkhandha. In the case of namarupa they come back to the mind as vipaka vinnana. Based on that experience we can add more vinnana and generate stronger nama rupa (again via PS).
Regarding the second question (Nibbana) my answer: Existence in all realms is based on bondage to rupa. Nibbana follows if one cuts off the bondage to rupa. Thus Nibbana is not another realm.
Can you explain how to type these special letters for Tipitaka English, like the “a” with a line above?
Is there a PS sequence for functional behavior (kriya)?
e.g. at work I have to think and take decisions. That also requires sankhara, vinnana, namarupa (visuals, concepts), phassa, vedana, neutral tanha, neutral upadana …leading to occupational bhava…jati..
Thus ingredients of a PS cycle are involved.I was searching trough the posts but cannot find the passages. So I explain it here.
It is said several times here on the website that a gandhabba is under stress while staying in paralowa. On the other side I remember a doctor who was out of his physical body for some days (coma). He came to a “good location” in paralowa with a “partner” (which was actually his sister, as he found out later). So here we can see that it is not necessarily a stressful stay in paralowa. Also it can be that gandhabbas go into a dream like state which feels timeless. All together I would not say that gandhabbas are really stressed while in paralowa.
