In my reply to "äÍÉÔÒÉÊ éxÁÈÎÅÎËÏ (Dimitry Ivakhnenko)", I wrote:
"In fact, the texts (and their commentaries and sub-commentaries)
distinguish two
means of acquring right view, namely that of (1) the parato ghosa, or
sound from
beyond/another person; and (2) that of yonisomanasikaara, or paying
methodical
attention (M I 294; A I 87). According to the commentaries, the former
applies in
the case of Buddhas and Paccekabuddhas, since there is for them no
parato ghosa, the
latter applying in the case of saavakas (literally, hearers)".
I regret to say that, given the amount of concentration that I am
currently having to apply to a malfunctioning keyboard, I inadvertently
got these two points the wrong way round.
I should, of course, have said:
"According to the commentaries, the LATTER (i.e.yonisomanasikaara)
applies in
the case of Buddhas and Paccekabuddhas, since there is for them no
parato ghosa, the
FORMER (i.e. parato ghosa) applying in the case of saavakas (literally,
hearers)".
