I'm really sorry if you felt any inconvenience when you were having that discussion with those "Yanne Koheda Malle Poll" fellows. It was nothing but an incompatible discussion between the educated (so called) and an intellectual.Please be sure to not to misunderstand me as one, trying to keep you on the seventh heaven.What I really appreciate in you is your realisticness that you've surely achieved through your background and education.Do your mission honestly as you do now and you'll find you're not alone ultimately when looking back.Anuradhapura.
I think your explanation about "asankatha" is exactly correct. If something is a "result" of a "cause" it is "sankatha". And if there is "no cause" for something, it is "asankatha". In Patthana Prakarana you can find a verse as "sabbe dhamma mano vingnana datuya arammana pacchena pacchayou". Here the word "sabbe dhamma" includes chitta, chaitasika, roopa, nibbhana & pragnapthi. This means with your mind, you can think of any thing, including nibbhana. (but, to proper realization of "nibbana" one should devolop "gothrabhoo, marga & pala" chittas. To develop our mind to that level only, we need "vidharshana bhavana".
You, me and most of us have been doing an "aarya paryeshana"... So, day by day all of us have to "purify" our knowledge, gradually. We will have to do some more home work to realize the meanings of words "nivana" and "vidarshana pragnawa".... None of us know everything. So, will be open minded... We should not let our own "knowledge to" blind our eyes.... ❤@@mahindapathirana
It is a very substantial research-based approach to the claim you made before concerning the explanation of Nibbana in the Buddhist doctrinal literature. I wish you more and more energy to go ahead with your mission to establish the veracity of Buddhism and its significance in working out solutions to the problem of delusive existence that hinders one's spiritual salvation. I enjoyed the presentation to the full.
