Dear Pali friends,
This following phrase is one that comes up a lot in
the suttas (generally where Dependent Origination is
being discussed):
"Katamaa ca bhikkhave, jaati? Yaa tesa.m tesa.m
sattaana.m tamhi tamhi sattanikaaye jaati sa~njaati
okkanti nibbatti abhinibbatti, khandhaana.m
paatubhaavo aayatanaana.m pa�ilaabho, aya.m vuccati
bhikkhave, jaati."
Can anyone tell me the subtleties of difference in
meaning between all the words "jaati sa~njaati okkanti
nibbatti abhinibbatti"? To me they all seem to be
synonymous with a general sense of "birth, becoming,
rebirth".
Is there something more here?
Thanks,
John
