> Can somebody please help to clarify certain things in the above sutta for
me? I am referring to the translation by Thanissaro Bhikkhu found at
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/canon/anguttara/an10-176.html
>
> 1. 3rd paragraph: "brahmans of the Western lands". Which place are the
Western lands?
>
> 2. Under Unskilled Bodily Action: what is the meaning of "...their
Dhamma", and "...those who entail punishment"?
>
> 3. Under Skillful Verbal Action: In the context of the following sentence,
what does "seasonable" and "circumscribed" mean ?
> "He speaks words worth treasuring, seasonable, reasonable,
circumscribed, connected with the goal."
>
> 4. Under Unskillful Mental Action: 2nd paragraph, last line".... that or
any other bad destination " As I understand it, there are only 3 bad
destinations and these are already mentioned in this sutta, so what is this
"any other bad destination" ?

> Thanks in anticipation.
