Re: SV: [Pali] Re: Upekkhaa

Dear Ole and Dmytro,
may I butt in?
Qua meaning I do not see a problem with these two texts. In the fourth
jhana, where all the coarse jhanafactors have been abandoned, there is great
purity of all conascent mental factors, the indifferent feeling, sati,
tatramajjhattataa, cetanaa, manasikara, samaadhi, paññaa, etc. They
condition each other by way of sahajata paccaya and aññamañña paccaya.
Nina.
