excerpt
Found some interesting sutta references from a sutta central discussion thread, which I"ve incorporated into article.



higlights:



a pre-buddhist 'viveka' where it means differentiation or discrimination.



sujato lists a few references that he believes show 'viveka' must be physical seclusion.

He also doesn't dispute that there are places where 'viveka' might not be seclusion at all.

I've been collecting suttas that show this.



Where I agree with Sujato that those suttas he site must include physical seclusion, I don't think it's sufficient.
