Dear Jim,
thank you. I like it that we have the three here together: pariyatti,
and from pariyatti follows pa.tipatti and from pa.tipatti pa.tivedha,
the attainment of the truth.
Pariyatti: the note of PED: yes, but actually it is more. We listen
and consider the teaching about the present reality, and pariyatti is
not mere theory, it relates to the present reality, such as seeing
now, visible object now. This is the way to eventually understand
these as non-self.
Nina.
