The parable of Bhikkhu Sujato, the 9 mendicants and 9 attainments
This very short parable, about a 3 minute read,

The parable of Bhikkhu Sujato, the 9 mendicants and 9 attainments
is a commentary on how B. Sujato destroys and hides the physical body that experiences pleasure in 3rd jhana:

B. Sujato third jhāna, "The body as metaphor", more like out of context, out of his body, out of his mind

Obviously u are ignoring the sutta teachings, which say the breath is also a 'kaya' (MN 118), which say mentality is also a 'kaya' ('nama-kaya'; DN 15), which say the five aggregates are collectively a 'kaya' (MN 44; SN 12.19), etc. If 'kaya' only meant 'physical body' then Majjhima Nikaya would mean "Middle Length Physical Body". :roll:
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.
