Re: translation of paa.nikajaata in Satipatthana sutta

Dear Sir (Piya),

Really my reason was the first of the five precepts. "paa.naatipaataa ...". I am a traditional Buddhist (not Theravaadin)--I don't understand Abhidhamma. Further the context (satipa.t.thaana sutta)supports a general interpretation. To cover all other insects animals etc. not mentioned in the passage. As you mentioned, it is the context that matters. What I mentioned agrees also with the Sinhala translation of the Tipi.taka.

Dear Mahatmaya,

Your mention "I have reason." May we know what that reason is?
