I think khamati is to accept things as they are. Leave the environment as it is; do not interfere. D. G. D. C. Wijeratna

Subject: [Pali] sabba.m me khamatiiti


In MN 74 Diighanaka the phrase sabba.m me khamatiiti is used.
I am trying to find a definition for khamatiiti. I find in the CPED
khamati: to be patient; to endure; to forbear; to pardon. Thanissaro Bhikkhu
translates sabba.m me khamatiiti "All is pleasing to me" In the Wisdom Pub.
it is translated as "Everything is acceptable to me."
Can anyone point me to a resource where pleasing is given as a definition of
this word? The word pleasing helps to tie the Buddha's response to
Diighanaka's statements in a way that makes more sense than the word
acceptable, but I want to find how the word pleasing is arrived at. If
there is an online resource you can point me to for finding this I would
greatly appreciate it.

thanks,
Diipaa
