Do as you wish and believe sankharas as you wish, but its good when you give you self a little bit more compassion and wisdom, which is often gained when simply remembering, sannja, sankharas, vedana, based on currend vinnana, its not sure, and patient with ones preoccupation is good. Its only you who could help your self to come down on earth again, Upasaka theY
1. upāsaka is endowed with faith (open mind in logic)
2. upāsaka have good conduct (sīla, 10 kusalakammapatha).
3. upāsaka is not superstitious. upāsaka believing in deeds, not luck.
How is it, how could it be, that "good conduct" leads into hell, to anger, red head, aversion?
Can it be found in 3.?
Even if given much metta & karuna, is it possible to help someone in rage?
Johann, tipitaka editor, you still editing tipitaka, in your last post.
In tipitaka taught 5 stuffs, you cut it to 3 stuffs.
You care only dissemination. You don't care about the origin. That's why you are not theravāda buddhist.You don't care the relationship of tipitaka between words to words, book to book, etc.
This sutta come together 5 stuffs to tell students about theravāda-upāsaka, but you cut some stuffs off to make us talk out of theravāda buddhist, to be zen's upāsaka, or to be zen's monk, like you.
In vinaya, having acelakasikkhāpada, but you don't focus on it.
In commentary,
anuruddha-etadagga who lived while 1 st sangayana, described this sutta in commentary, but you not even read commentary in the eyes.
Anyways, that sutta completely explain itself, but person who cut some part of it off will never understand it.
