Re: the great rebirth debate
This sphere of conditioned aggregates acknowledges that sphere of aggregates conventionally known as BrokenBones and there is thanks for the conditioned arising of the apology.BrokenBones wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:45 amThe five aggregates once known as brokenbones is/was sorryCeisiwr wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:25 amWatch those pronouns!BrokenBones wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:24 am Besides the pronouns list, maybe we should also have a list of subjects that may be discussed.

Re: the great rebirth debate
Don't be ridiculous. "Things" don't "arise" when they're spherical.
What is the Uncreated?
Sublime & free, what is that obscured Eternity?
It is the Undying, the Bright, the Isle.
It is an Ocean, a Secret: Reality.
Both life and oblivion, it is Nirvāṇa.

Your imputations of an "anjali" are subjectless and objectless.

described as follows in sutta:
Just as a dog, tied by a leash to a post or stake, keeps running around and circling around that very post or stake; in the same way, an uninstructed, run-of-the-mill person — who has no regard for noble ones, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma; who has no regard for people of integrity, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma — assumes form to be the self, or the self as possessing form, or form as in the self, or the self as in form.
"He assumes feeling to be the self...
"He assumes perception to be the self...
"He assumes (mental) fabrications to be the self...
"He assumes consciousness to be the self, or the self as possessing consciousness, or consciousness as in the self, or the self as in consciousness.
"He keeps running around and circling around that very form... that very feeling... that very perception... those very fabrications... that very consciousness.

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Re: Are you a Dictionary-believer or Commentary-believer?
I recollected my manifold past lives, i.e., one birth, two...five, ten...fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand, many eons of cosmic contraction, many eons of cosmic expansion, many eons of cosmic contraction & expansion: 'There I had such a name, belonged to such a clan, had such an appearance. Such was my food, such my experience of pleasure & pain, such the end of my life. Passing away from that state, I re-arose there.

Re: Are you a Dictionary-believer or Commentary-believer?
the above is why a sutta "contextual" approach is also required. for example:
If anyone says, ‘the eye is self,’ that is not tenable.
‘Cakkhu attā’ti yo vadeyya taṁ na upapajjati.
The arising and vanishing of the eye is evident,
Cakkhussa uppādopi vayopi paññāyati.
so it would follow that one’s self arises and vanishes.
Yassa kho pana uppādopi vayopi paññāyati, ‘attā me uppajjati ca veti cā’ti iccassa evamāgataṁ hoti.
That’s why it’s not tenable to claim that
Tasmā taṁ na upapajjati:
the eye is self.
‘cakkhu attā’ti yo vadeyya.
So the eye is not self.
Iti cakkhu anattā.
MN 148
the above is not reconcilable for the dictionary or commentary sects; how the word "upapajjati" is translated as both "tenable" and "to be reborn"They don’t have the unethical conduct that causes an uneducated ordinary person to be reborn—when their body breaks up, after death—in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell.
Yathārūpena ca kho, āvuso, dussīlyena samannāgato assutavā puthujjano kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapajjati tathārūpassa dussīlyaṁ na hoti.
SN 55.13
it appears only an "etymological" approach can resolve the above "contextual" conundrum for the wikipedia dictionary sects

Re: Are you a Dictionary-believer or Commentary-believer?
u feel like dependent co-origination over 3 life times or empty dhammas reborn continuously?
non-dhammic speech above, it appears. "Eel-wriggling", it appears
so does MN 148 say what is said below? it appears you avoided MN 148 therefore, by default, show the error of the dictionaries
“Someone with ten qualities is cast down to hell. What ten? They lie. They’re summoned to a council, an assembly, a family meeting, a guild, or to the royal court, and asked to bear witness: ‘Please, mister, say what you know.’ Not knowing, they say ‘I know.’ Knowing, they say ‘I don’t know.’ Not seeing, they say ‘I see.’ And seeing, they say ‘I don’t see.’ So they deliberately lie for the sake of themselves or another, or for some trivial worldly reason.

Re: Are you a Dictionary-believer or Commentary-believer?
again permission!
This is about a deliberate lying when bearing witness.
You have a habit of arguing with irrelevant or false facts.

Re: Are you a Dictionary-believer or Commentary-believer?
Sorry but the above appears about your 'self'. U avoided the subject matter by claiming without evidence it was "resolved". I offered a practical example for discussion but you totally avoided it and, worse, appeared to claim to be a reincarnation of Buddhaghosa.
PTS Pali English Dictionary
upapajjati
to get to, be reborn in (acc.) to originate, rise Vin.iii.20 (nirayaṁ); AN.iii.415; AN.v.292 sq.; Snp.584; Iti.13 (nirayaṁ), Iti.14 (sugatiṁ; variant reading upp˚), Iti.67 (saggaṁ lokaṁ; variant reading upp˚); Iti.43 = Dhp.307 (nirayaṁ); Dhp.126, Dhp.140; Pv.i.10#7 (variant reading BB. udapajjatha = uppajja Pv-a.50); Pp.16, Pp.51, Pp.60; Ne.37, Ne.99, cp. Kv.611 sq. pp. upapannā (q.v.)
The PTS Pali English Dictionary above appears to be clutching at straws.If anyone says, ‘the eye is self,’ that is not to get to, be reborn in (acc.) to originate, rise .
‘Cakkhu attā’ti yo vadeyya taṁ na upapajjati.
The arising and vanishing of the eye is evident,
Cakkhussa uppādopi vayopi paññāyati.
MN 148
The PTS Pali English Dictionary above says:
How can a sincere student be a "believer" in the gibberish above; including the dictionary appearing to fall back on primitive Singhalese culture? Even though Singhalese Buddhism nearly become extinct a number of times and probably degenerated into different types of superstition, the PTS Pali English Dictionary appears to be relying on the Singhalese language in defining Pali words from 2600 years ago.doubtful whether a legitimate form as upa + pad or a diaeretic form of uppajjati = ud + pad. In this case all passages ought to go under the latter. Trenckner however (Notes 77) defends upa˚ & considers in many cases upp˚ a substitution for upa. The diaeresis may be due to metre, as nearly all forms are found in poetry. The variant reading upp˚ is apparently frequent; but it is almost impossible to distinguish between upap˚ and upp˚ in the Sinhalese writing, and either the scribe or the reader may mistake one for the other
The above appears not possible if crucial words are misunderstood.
