I am interested in what the earlier arahants thought about that sutta

Thanks

Thanks all 🙏🙏 These suttas help me to understand delusion Mn148 When you experience a pleasant feeling, if you approve, welcome, and keep clinging to it, the underlying tendency to greed underlies that. When you experience a painful feeling, if you sorrow and wail and lament, beating your breast and...

Āditta-pariyāya Sutta “Monks, the All is aflame. Which All is aflame? The eye is aflame. Forms are aflame. Eye-consciousness is aflame. Eye-contact is aflame. And whatever there is that arises in dependence on eye-contact—experienced as pleasure, pain or neither-pleasure-nor-pain—that too is aflame...

I am interested in learning the sub commentary which I think containing living meditation tradition in 12 ce and backwards I am interested in knowing how medieval monk do meditation

But even if the Tika is not about meditation that's ok too

Of course the easiest way is by abolishing craving, and in the 12 dependent origination factors if just one of them ceases like ignorance or others then the other factors will cease and won't arise You are craving for the unattainable. Nibbana with feeling is the best that can be attained. :smile: ...

Can you edit your post so that you don’t quote a whole chunk of text from previous posts? It makes for bad reading for others to have to scroll through it all. Thank you.

Done

I don’t see your objection. You’ve now resorted to “adukkhaasukkha” without defining it. "And furthermore, with the abandoning of pleasure and stress — as with the earlier disappearance of elation and distress — he enters and remains in the fourth jhana: purity of equanimity and mindfulness, n...

In mn148 buddha said that cessation of craving is nibbana Maybe, but MN 148 also refers to a Nibbana with feelings, as follows: Bhikkhus, dependent on the eye and forms, eye-consciousness arises; the meeting of the three is contact; with contact as condition there arises a feeling felt as pleasant ...

“Neutral feeling” is “adukkhaasukkha” not “uppekha”. “Adukkhaasukkha” is felt in the fourth jhana. The one thing we know about jhana is that it gets more and more refined as you go up. The “pleasure” of the fourth jhana cannot be defined in ordinary terms. Similarly to “neither perception nor non p...
