Re: Ideal Wife
So what should I look out for as an ideal husband, if I ever decided to have one? Suttas say the ideal husband: E. A sympathetic husband: There are a number of conditions peculiar to a woman about which a husband should be considerate and to which he should respond with care and sympathy. They are:...

Re: Abhidhamma makes things really easy regarding interpretations of Dhamma
Just recently, a thought occured to me ... Abhidhamma also appears to have its own versions of Dependent Origination with only "nama" rather than "namarupa". For example: 2. Abhidhammabhājanīya 2.1. Paccayacatukka Avijjāpaccayā saṅkhāro, saṅkhārapaccayā viññāṇaṁ, viññāṇapaccayā nāmaṁ , nāma paccayā...

Re: Abhidhamma makes things really easy regarding interpretations of Dhamma
Mod note: Calling a section of the Abhidhamma 'secular heresy' is not permitted in this forum. Future breaks of forum rules may result in a suspension. If you wish to query the quote that is fine here. But if the aim is to discredit that is better done in the Early Buddhism forum. Not so fast. I ch...

Re: Abhidhamma makes things really easy regarding interpretations of Dhamma
Abhidhamma makes things really easy regarding interpretations of Dhamma :roll: Since ignorance is an underlying tendency (anusaya), it appears sankhara is not necessary a condition for ignorance. How does the "authoritativeness" of the Abhidhamma explain this? :shrug: With ignorance as condition th...

Re: sati n samma sati
I am not a Pali expert by my understanding is that Sati is a Cetasika which is in every consciousness. Sounds wrong. For example, being conscious of the noise of sudden unexpected thunder i imagine involves no mindfulness. Cetasika means what ? Its Abhidhamma jargon for those who believe they have ...

Re: Abhidhamma makes things really easy regarding interpretations of Dhamma
Pride of birth... the conceit thus, “I am better”... eel wriggling... While the above could be found in any reasonable secular dictionary, what does the Abhidhamma mean by the term "pride of birth" ("jātimado")? Is it pride of gushing out or being pushed out of a vagina, soaked in fluid & blood? Or...

Re: Asura realm
Is this realm sometimes categorised under another realm? Or is it a realm that exist simultaneously with another realm? I don't really remember I have read about someone in the sutta that has reborned as an asura. It appears Iti 93 is the only sutta that separates the asura realm from the rest of t...

an attempt to translate commentary You should compare the commentary to my answer; to identify any inferior faults in the commentary.

Re: “Right View comes first”: SN 56.37, SN 56.44, dash of MN 117 (Week of April 11, 2021)
Obviously, what is referred to here as "mundane right view" is the opposite of many things that are declared to be impediments in other suttas, particularly "there are fruits and results of good and bad deeds". The suttas say in many places the Noble Path ends kamma. Therefore, it appears so clear ...
