This is the only way, monks, for the purification of beings, for the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, for the destruction of suffering and grief, for reaching the right path, for the attainment of Nibbana, namely, the fou...

"This, Ananda, is the teaching called the Mirror of the Dhamma, whereby the noble disciple may thus know of himself: 'There is no more rebirth for me in hell, nor as an animal or ghost, nor in any realm of woe. A stream-enterer am I, safe from falling into the states of misery, assured am I an...

Yes, I didn't know that. Thank you to Gwi, and also to you for asking a good question. :anjali: :heart: Perhaps another question is why we can't cling (Upadana) to the six-sense base. Also, why can't we Thanha (greed) for five aggregates? The synonym for taṇhā is lust; greed. What we have been chas...

Taṇhā relates to the "six bases"; upādāna is related to the "five aggregates". So, there is no first, both are eliminated by destroying the (five) higher fetters (annihilated by attainment of Arahatship). Interesting. Can you support this with Sutta. I know it is mentioned in Su...

Why it is called Sutta? What is the etymology? Sutta means a thread or string. It basically means a thread of teachings, or to say a text on a specific point. The words are "threaded" together to give an overall theme. Thanks. Yes, that is what is said by a monk. He also said it means an ...

Why it is called Sutta?
What is the etymology?

Can Thanha lead to Bhava (without clinging)?
Are Thanha and Upadana coined together like Vedna and Sanna?

craving for forms, craving for sounds, craving for odors, craving for flavors, craving for tangibles, craving for mind-objects.

Can't we equally say?

clinging for forms, clinging for sounds, clinging for odors, clinging for flavors, clinging for tangibles, clinging for mind-objects.

What eliminate first? Thanha or Upadana? Taṇhā relates to the "six bases"; upādāna is related to the "five aggregates". So, there is no first, both are eliminated by destroying the (five) higher fetters (annihilated by attainment of Arahatship). Interesting. Can you support this...
