Dear Lal, can you please explain why “vinnana cannot exist without rupa”?
What about dhamma coming to the mind? Where is rupa involved here?

Hello Akvan,
I fully agree with your assessment that the wordly concepts are hardly useful in regard to Nibbana. When I explain the Dhamma to someone without any background that person wants to fall back to theses wordly concepts. It really requires the learning of Buddha Dhamma for a certain time to grasp some ideas before any understanding follows. That is a big obstacle to “get on board”.

Thanks Siebe! I got it now.
What I wanted to convey, is the link between micca ditthi and pancupādānakkhandha. Tanha leads to certain views about objects, feelings etc., that something is good/bad, important/unimportant, like/dislike … All these are wrong views. With stream entry one knows that and loses interest in such mindsets.

The pancakkhandha explain the arising and passing away of all we mentally experience. All is having the sankata nature. As nothing here is stable, all is having also the anicca nature.

Hi Siebe,
may you add the source from Sutta Central?

I cannot find: “DN3§2.21, DN5§9, DN14§3.15, MN56§18, SN35.74 (numbers en §§ refer to DN translation Walshe en MN and SN translations Bodhi)”
Or is there a link to another website?

Thanks!
