You said that desire creates the desirer if there is no right mindfulness. Does this mean that there is already attachment, or is attachment a later development?

“One may accept that one is not-self and only a combination of the five khandhas. It is natural that one is more interested in the five khandhas in one’s own body than that in someone else’s. Is it really logical to get rid of a self by the five khandhas?”

“Once someone has achieved enlightenment, what do they usually do with the rest of their life? I guess it wouldn’t be their life, it would be the body’s life.”

“What should one do when personally faced with murder, rape, robbery, etc.?”

“... Yet even within this impermanence that highlights the law of nature, virtually all living beings are giving individual and/or collective mechanisms for violent self-defense when attacked. How does this aspect of the law of nature relate to Buddhist ānāpānasati and human self-defense needs?”

“What is love?”

“Is it possible to practice ānāpānasati without first understanding dependent origination and the five khandhas? I think wisdom is developed from meditation, not from books. I do not like to read books and listen to Dhamma talks. I don’t understand, maybe it is better for me to stop practicing ānāpānasati?”

“Is it correct to think that genuine true wisdom and happiness can only be found in Buddhism?”

“Is it correct to think that genuine true mindfulness and wisdom can only be found in Buddhism?”

“Do you believe that mindfulness is the only means by which we can liberate the mind? That is, are enlightened Buddhists the only truly wise and happy people in the world?”

“Can you explain more about ‘walking without a walker?’ Has it the same meaning as a ‘self that is not-self’?”

“A new-born knows nothing and yet a baby may laugh at a toy rattle and cry if it is taken away. Buddhism would call this ‘attachment,’ the ‘self,’ but I regard it as nature, like a dog with a bone. Please explain.”

“If someone attacks us mentally or physically such as in physical assault or rape, under the law of impermanence we know it will not last, but how can we stop ourselves from feeling anger, hatred, and bitterness – and pity for the people who hurt us?”

“I somewhat understand anattā and therefore the impossibility of a self, soul, being reincarnated, but I feel it doesn’t have to be a self that goes to a new life. It can be a momentum towards self, established in ignorance. This tendency towards the self concept may continue in universal mind and therefore create a new physical body. Do you think this could be so?”

“The Buddha’s first words on enlightenment were “Aneka jāti saṃsāraṃ sandhāvissaṃ anibhissaṃ” (Through the round of many births I roamed…). We chant these words every day. How then can one deny some kind of rebirth, whatever intellectual difficulties we face with the concept of anattā?”

“What is worldly right view?”
