"Looking at the Three Baskets collectively, aren't five aggregates taught? Didn't the Buddha have sakkāya (personality-belief)? Did he have wrong view? Didn't the Buddha have five aggregates? Did he have attachment? #Having_aggregates_but_attachment_ceased. Isn't this worth examining?
Consider stream-enterers like Visākhā and Anāthapiṇḍika - didn't they live happily with spouses, enjoying children and grandchildren?
Is this enjoyment beings or feeling (vedanā)? #It's_vedanā. Is it Visākhā or vedanā? #Don't_we_need_to_know_it_as_vedanā? When that vedanā is pleasant, doesn't craving arise? Is it Visākhā or craving? Isn't this worth considering?
When vedanā is clearly understood, perception, formations, and consciousness can also be understood, along with material form. Consider this.
When they eat, dress, or engage in activities, doesn't craving for enjoyment arise? This liking, wanting - #is_it_person_or_craving? Self or craving? Isn't craving taught as personality-belief? Then #doesn't_wrong_view_fall_away?
When craving arises, doesn't it cease? Do you find craving or its absence? #Isn't_seeing_impermanence_as_non-existence_taught_as_path? Does craving arise again? Without craving, can clinging arise?
Without clinging, can kamma arise? #Don't_three_types_of_dependent_origination_cease? Dependent origination of craving, clinging, and kamma - all three cease.
When they cease, doesn't the cycle of aggregates end? #Isn't_this_taught_as_the_truth_of_cessation? This is why we listen to Dhamma, practice meditation, practice walking meditation - #to_understand_the_aggregates..."
Sadhu! Together let us keep the Dharma wheel rolling.
