Re: Why Satipathana Sutta does not mention verbal fabrications (Vaci Sankhara)?
The way I understand Vitakka and Vicara can lead to speech. Only unwholesome speech named as VaciSankahra. The way I understand the speech immediately stops when you start your meditation session.

Re: Photo Dharma (Over 15,000 photographs of Buddhist archeological sites)

The story is that the king killed an Arahant in a pot of boiling oil after incorrectly suspecting the Arahant had an affair with the queen. The gods punish the king by a way of ts...

Thanks DD. I did not notice when I click it first time.
By the way how do you do it (how do you link like that?)? (I am not a computer wizard)

Re: What is greed (lobha)?
As a lay person you are allowed to do this.
There is a Sutta to say how to save, consume and invest.
