....If you think citta means soul how do you explain all the
unhealthy inflections of citta?
-------NORBU
You are kidding aren't you boy? Of course it is true that AN 1.9 says
both:::: "I know nothing which brings GREATER BLISS than the citta
(purified)"
And also says " I know nothing which brings GREATER MISERY than the
citta (of the fool)"
WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS PASSAGE REALLY SAYS??? >
[MN 1.511] "For a long time I have been cheated, tricked and
hoodwinked by my citta.....For when grasping, I have been grasping
onto form, for when grasping, I have been grasping onto feelings, ,
for when grasping, I have
been grasping onto perceptions, for when grasping, I have been
grasping onto experiences, for when grasping, I have been grasping
onto consciousness. (5 KHANDHAS)"
