Has anyone any insight or thought on the best translation of
vitakka,sa.nkhaara,sa.n.thaana in the Vitakka,san.t.haana Sutta here?
[My provisional translation:]
If, monks, while a monk is not minding and is disregarding those thoughts,
there still arises in him evil unskillful thoughts connected with desire,
hate and delusion arise in him, then should turn his mind to the stilling
of the thought-formation (vitakka,sa.nkhaara,santhaana) [by examining the
causal sequence] of those evil unskillful thoughts. (M 1:120,18-19)
Sukhi.
