He who reveres those worthy of reverence,
the Buddhas and their disciples,
who have transcended all obstacles and
passed beyond the reach of sorrow and lamentation
— he who reveres such peaceful and fearless ones,
his merit none can compute by any measure.
~Dhammapada 195-6

Words as "mere expressions." In this passage of the #PaliCanon of #Buddhism (Samyutta Nikaya 1.25), the question is: Does the "Arahant" (who has attained the goal) use the word "I"? The answer is yes, but only conventionally:

> Skillful, understanding the world’s conventions, they’d use these terms as no more than expressions.”

Bhikkhu Bodhi:
> Skilful, knowing the world’s parlance, He uses such terms as mere expressions.”

Alright. I just finished the Dīgha Nikāya, the first volume of the Sutta Piṭaka of the Pāli Canon of #Buddhism.

Next up is the Majjhima Nikāya which will probably take me a lot longer since it's more than twice as long at 1424 pages in 5.75 x 9.00 inches while the Dīgha Nikāya is only 684 pages in 5.75 x 8.75 inches.

And what is the drawback of feelings?
That feelings are impermanent, suffering, and perishable: this is their drawback.

And what is the escape from feelings?
Removing and giving up desire and greed for feelings: this is the escape from feelings.
