Re: "Gata" translated as "Immersed"

Re: Self protection / killing insects
Sila based on real metta, right view, is the only lasting selfprotection. By harming one gains harm, does neither protect one self nor gives protection to others. It's the protection of the fool, for very short and insecure release from harm.
