Skillful means

Post by auto »

Skillful means is non-action, but buddha don't teach non-action what is understood as non-action by Jains.

“Kiṁ pana tvaṁ, sīha, kiriyavādo samāno akiriyavādaṁ samaṇaṁ gotamaṁ dassanāya upasaṅkamissasi?
For the ascetic Gotama believes in inaction, teaches that, and trains his disciples in that.”
Samaṇo hi, sīha, gotamo akiriyavādo akiriyāya dhammaṁ deseti, tena ca sāvake vinetī”ti.
i now get it, what non-action means. It means there is no doer, you enter a mind state(perhaps access concertation) and from there know what would constitute as action and what not, and then try shuffle through mental images what would bring forth the dhamma turning action resulting in jhana.

Just a random thought:
It's possible that the Jains were anti-jhana.
