Hello Yash RS. I read your bio and you say you are a 20 year old sotāpanna. You are even aiming for the Anagami stage!! I am very happy to see someone in my age group progressing in magga phala. As you know most people in our group age are not interested in Dhamma. Is it possible to contact me on my email to discuss your experience of the Dhamma? This is my email :[email protected]
Sure Gad🙏

I understand all this now, but the video #46050, the girl died with dosa in her mind, which matches the gati of niraya which is in the same kama bhava like the human realm. So why can’t she be born in niraya since the mindset changed to dosa? Or is it that a very high dosa is required for that to happen?

“Yes. The video is not correct in that aspect. Just because she had dosa in her mind at the moment of death of her PHYSICAL BODY does not matter.”
So how do we explain this with the above approach?
“There are several such examples mentioned in the Tipiṭaka. A famous example is about a frog who was attentively listening to a discourse of the Buddha. Of course a frog could not understand what the Buddha was saying. But the “gati sound” (“gati handa” in Sinhala) that came from the Buddha combined with sansaric gati of the frog led the frog to attentively listen to the pleasing sound from the Buddha and to have a pleasant mindset.
While listening to the discourse, the frog was accidentally killed by the walking stick of a person there, and the frog was born in a deva loka instantaneously. “
So how did the frog’s bhava end if it was killed by someone, or was it that his bhava ended that’s why it got killed?
There is one more account when a monkey offered the Buddha some honey and after accepting the food, the monkey was very happy and died because of falling in the excitement and becomes a Deva. So how did the bhava end in both the cases?

Also, having sex before marriage is a bad kamma? If yes then why is it so? Is it a sexual misbehaviour?
So does it mean that if a person has committed many bad kamma, he or she will not end up in the apaya unless the human bhava is exhausted?
Do the bad kammas not exhaust the human bhava?
Thanks for asking Jorg!
I experience much low cravings now.
I also have reduced tendency of getting angry.
I almost everytime think about some Dhamma concepts whenever I am Idle.
My mind is not heavy that much now, definitely there has been significant progress.
I have also started to Feel and realise the agitation that comes with sensual cravings and anger.
Even if I get such thoughts I don’t Just try to suppress them forcefully as I used to do earlier, i try to Remove them with the realisation of agitation that comes with such thoughts. That has helped a lot!
I believe that I have attained the Sakadagami stage but the aim is Anagami
Thanks

But if we take a general case of a Sakadagami Deva who exhausted his lifetime, now why doesn’t he become a Deva again? but attains nibbana?
He still has the remaining Samyojana in his mind and to be free from future births one must remove all Sanyojana if I am correct.
So why is he becoming free from all births if he has sensuality in his mind?
“Some cases like this could be “not real” in the sense it is “made up” by the person’s mind, even though the person may truly believe it to be true.” That exorcist i talked about,told the same thing even though we had told him nothing before. And as i mentioned “something possessed my father, claimed to be our ancestor and told this in 2018)” my mother talked to that person on the phone about what’s happening to her and why do you appear in her dreams trying to attract her, i was with her, and for the first time i came to see his real side, he said ” no matter what you sacrifice, a hen or a goat, no one can harm me”
We were shocked as to what he just said. So yes that’s not mind made.Thanks Lal, I will be grateful of you. But can a person with jhanas help in such case?. If yes, then if you have contact of any such person please ask them if they can help.
Thanks
