Rebirth in clasical theravada

Thank you, Chris. It seems that the method for arriving at right view with regard to rebirth is (if I understand correctly) to:
1) hear the truth, and
2) attend appropriately.

And we have specific instructions here for how to attend appropriately.

That's a lot more straightforward than what I stated earlier in this thread. And I can see how it might take some time to arrive at right view regarding rebirth, depending on how one attends.

And depending what one hears. We see how on these internet forums all sorts of teachings are proposed. This leaves the listener confused as to which to attend.

Indeed. I suspect this papañca of ever-conflicting views falls more under the category of (2) appropriate attention (that is to say, inappropriate attention) than under the category of (1) hearing. Because we've already heard, so the seed is planted (1). Now it's a matter of watering it and letting it grow (2). That won't happen if we keep on poking at the dirt.
