What does that tell you about gandhabba?
This is what I found from the internet.
According to the commentary of this sutta, the use of the word gandhabba doesn't refer to a celestial Deva, but a being enabled to be born by its karma. It is the state of a sentient being between rebirths.

“The teacher willed that this world appear to me
as impermanent, unstable, insubstantial.
Mind, let me leap into the victor’s teaching,
carry me over the great flood, so hard to pass.”

Compare it with the conditions stated by the Buddha when test tube technology wasn't available.Ceisiwr wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 12:46 pmWhat about IVF babies?form wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 12:44 pm What does that tell you about gandhabba?

Re: Test tube baby fertilisation
There's no way to cheat kamma, or go against kamma. It just happens. Test tube baby or natural baby, the result is the same.
On a personal note, IVF (test tube baby) is a wonderful thing for people who can't have a baby the normal way.

Re: Test tube baby fertilisation
According to Buddhist teaching, there are many ways birth can happen and fertilisation is another way.
So what eve the teaching has no impact by it.
