An exceptional guy this Nanananda. Many thanks for that.

Hi Dhammabodhi,
Thanks for the reminder. Here is some previous discussion:

And I've made a lot of use of Ven Nananda's scholarly analyses in the Study Group over the past few months:

Just a quick read but something about it does not ring true.
Maybe it is just my distrustful nature. Or my lack of Pali. But I'd like know more about this Bkikkhu Yogananda before reading through the entire interview.

Forget I spoke Geoff. I dont have the neccessary philological, philosophical or historical resources to take a view.

Re: The Heretic Sage- Interview with Bhante Ñāṇananda
Hi all,
I have no clue who Bhikkhu Yogananda is and did not try to find out, since I wasn't interested. From his website the only information available is that he is a monk in a forest monastery in Sri Lanka.
Personally I did not find anything fishy in the articles, I was rather struck by their erudite nature.
I do have a question for those who know Pali: what does paccaya mean?
Thanks

Paccaya: 'condition', is something on which something else, the so-called 'conditioned thing', is dependent, and without which the latter cannot be. Many are the ways in which one thing, or one occurrence, may be the condition for some other thing, or occurrence. In the Patthāna, the last book of the Abhidhamma Pitaka comprising 6 large vols. in the Siamese edition, these 24 modes of conditionality are enumerated and explained, and then applied to all conceivable mental and physical phenomena and occurrences, and thus their conditioned nature is demonstrated.

Not necessarily "peculiar" but the author has certain obvious points of view that I suspect are presented in much more black and white terms than Ven Nananda himself would assert.Ñāṇa wrote:What do feel doesn't ring true?alan wrote:Just a quick read but something about it does not ring true.

Re: The Heretic Sage- Interview with Bhante Ñāṇananda
His interview with Ven. Ñanananda has been included in the 'Nibbana, the Mind Stilled' book.
Re: The Heretic Sage- Interview with Bhante Ñāṇananda
Such as implying that Ven Nananda has asserted that everything is unreal. I think Ven Nananda's interpretation is a bit more sophisticated than that.Ñāṇa wrote:Such as?mikenz66 wrote:Not necessarily "peculiar" but the author has certain obvious points of view that I suspect are presented in much more black and white terms than Ven Nananda himself would assert.
