How does the practice of anapanasati relate to paticca-samuppada?

Understood as a "mere concept," then, when the Arhat dies, because he's freed from the concept, freed from the conceptuality, it's not actually "death."

No? I'm willing to let you adjust the phrasing, but that's basically the Buddhism of those who believe that the Arhats do not "experience."

I think it's you who perceives truth in what is delusion. I think you have your perception inverted. While not claiming the opposite, I do believe death is the wrong way as the Buddha explained, the path that delusion leads to.

That's a good job of avoiding stating anything concrete about your creative interpretations and muddying the waters as much as possible. Bravo.

By thinking in those terms, by thinking like a Buddha, we become liberated.

Samsara is called the never ending story


Nirvana is called the end


You have to be willing to stop reading

Somehow, it makes perfect sense that you'd think of saṃsāra as a fantasy film from the 80's.

Thinking, ‘I’ll fulfill the entire spectrum of ethical conduct I haven’t yet fulfilled, or support with wisdom in every situation the ethical conduct I’ve already fulfilled.

Without fulfilling the practice dealing with supplementary regulations, it’s impossible to fulfill the practice of a trainee.
Without fulfilling the practice of a trainee, it’s impossible to fulfill ethics.
Without fulfilling ethics, it’s impossible to fulfill right view.
Without fulfilling right view, it’s impossible to fulfill right immersion.

Thank you for trying to find / bring up the sutta's that I was mentioning / seeking. But those one's and in the other thread are not the one's that I was looking for. Thanks anyways for trying / helping.
