Dear members,

After a long period of absence, I have been able to upload a new paper again. It is "new_approach.pdf" in the Files section.

This paper is a critique of the "Two Modes of Dhamma" concept by Steven Collins in his book titled "Nirvana and Other Buddhist Felicities: Utopias of the Pali Imaginaire". Using the concept of intention as karma, I have argued that there is only one mode of Dhamma in the Early Buddhism, that is, that of absolute values which are context-independent and non-negotiable. I hope it would be interesting.

As usual, I should say that I reserve all rights since I intend to send the paper to a scholarly journal.

with metta,

Ven. Pandita
