Dear John,
PED gives for upadhi: substratum of rebirth and clinging to rebirth. This
puts even more stress on nirupadhi: when one has attained final nibbana and
has come to the end of the cycle, it is true happiness.
Food for thinking, as all of your posts. Thank you very much, and we shall
sure miss you very much! I am always looking forward to this series.
Nina.
