thanks for your enlightening and refreshing posts. I agree with Nina
about ultimate and conventional truths. The key to decipher the
messages encrypted in the Jataka really relys on the ability to
distinguish ultimate and convetional truths. That may all seems less
compelling to an average person whose primary concern is to get on
with life, yes and a bit of enlightening moments here and there. I
would consider sutta study groups, online or meet-ups (as CheangOo
mentioned in a former mail), are important to help people understand
the suttas, and then see how it would be applicable in their own
lives, each in a different way.
