We usually assume, Structure of language = Structure of Reality But Budhha said, language can mislead us, and above assumption is not true. There are 'language of causality' and 'ordinary language'. Once, a monk asked Budhha, "Ko Vedeta?" meaning "who feels?" Buddha replied: "Do not ask who feels! Re-phrase the question in the language of causality. When there is sensory contact, there is feeling". That's why in another thread related to Abhi's recent article and the rebuttal by Moriarty, i was trying to raise the issue what caused Abhi to write that article, what's the purpose of writing that article, did he write those sentences to be HERO to impress his readers, and what's the problem of his mind (lobha, dosa, moha) that forced him to write that article. IS THAT SO IMPORTANT for a Nepali to be able to go to USA? Can't we develop the country without going to USA? It's a very insignificant matter for person like Abhi to get his visa rejected. At least I think it so, but it seems he would not achieve nirvana if he miss USA trip, since whole life he taught American Studies wearing jeans to go and teach that subject in TU? C'mon this is miniscule thing. Instead he should be writing other type of article to encourage yound nepalese to develop the country. Therefore, words like discipline, awareness, wisdom, rationality......skepticism... what are they? are we understood among us when we use those words to communicate each other? Very hard to say yes to that question. Therefore, budhha said "You ought to do what ought to be done. I am just a guide (teacher)". Budhhism does not go beyond our experience. Nor the pleasure is equal to happiness. Buddha said, ehipasika: meaning come and examine yourself. Budhha was totally (exclusively) concerned with only 2 problems: 1. Dukkha:suffereing, unsatisfactoriness - disharmony. 2. Nirodha: elimination or remediation or cessation of suffering. Therefore, if you want to practice Buddhism, you have to understand/practice Buddhism for the purpose of only above two aspects (parameters or domains). Solution to problem is Buddhism.
