Re: Upon the entrance of full Parinibbana, would an Arhat...

You are the one stuck in this paradigm proclaiming the existence of self. I’m not saying there is a self You have to realize that you contradict the texts by saying 'nibbana is a felt pleasure' and it's not. You are wrong about so many things but you are still talking, inserting your stupid one lin...

Re: Upon the entrance of full Parinibbana, would an Arhat...

Day after day, month after month, year after year, the same shit with your f*** one liners affirming the existence of a soul/self that goes to nibbana.

I just can't do it anymore, it's ridiculous, it is as if there is a built in feature that prevents posting nice things here...

Re: Upon the entrance of full Parinibbana, would an Arhat...

Don't care if i get banned for deleting posts, i am sick of this excessive arguing against what the texts explain.

I don't need this shit in my life.

You teach cappuccino

Re: Upon the entrance of full Parinibbana, would an Arhat...

You are exactly like… On Self, No Self, and Not-self If I — being asked by Vacchagotta the wanderer if there is no self — were to answer that there is no self, that would be conforming with those brahmans & contemplatives who are exponents of annihilationism. You are the one stuck in this parad...

“Bhikkhus, both formerly and now what I teach is suffering and the cessation of suffering. …
Right, only suffering ends


You are not suffering

Although i believe some of this is speculative at best, it should give an idea about where the suns could come from

ALL EXPERIENCE CEASE Nirvana feels nice  There he said to the monks, "This Unbinding is pleasant, friends. This Unbinding is pleasant." When this was said, Ven. Udayin said to Ven. Sariputta, "But what is the pleasure here, my friend, where there is nothing felt?" "Just tha...

Re: Where did the 7 suns come from and go in AN 7 (?)

I think it's entirely possible. They say there are 100 billion stars in our galaxy and the solar system moves through space. It is entirely plausible that other stars will come into proximity of earth and that such is it's course. Our solar system is moving with an average velocity of 450,000 miles ...

Re: Pre-awakened Gotama and his path to Liberation. Sutta oddities

Fwiw after being dissatisfied with neither perception nor non perception these occured to the Bodhisatta And then these three examples, which were neither supernaturally inspired, nor learned before in the past, occurred to me. Suppose there was a green, sappy log, and it was lying in water. Then a ...

Re: Pre-awakened Gotama and his path to Liberation. Sutta oddities

In short and as i understand it. Bodhisatta held that pleasure is attained through pain Prince Bodhi took a low seat, sat to one side, and said to him, “Sir, this is what I think: ‘Pleasure is not gained through pleasure; pleasure is gained through pain.’” “Prince, before my awakening—when I was sti...

Just cause the King got it wrong doesn't mean that Krishna didn't properly explain it. Buddhism leads to a Great understanding too. It's analogical to the word anima from which the word animal is derived, the animal is animated as in alive, lively. I don't know anything about Krishna.. It's just th...

Re: Upon the entrance of full Parinibbana, would an Arhat...

Note that the word 'soul' there is a translation of 'jīva' It is difficult to translate but as i understand it, It's meaning is closer to 'life' as a in 'that which lives' as the opposite of that which is dead, the life-principle or as the faculty of life. In Questions of King Milinda it is asked if...
