Response by Ajahn Karuṇadhammo.
1. “When I was looking at The Island by Ajahn Pasanno and Ajahn Amaro about a year ago, there are lots of Pāli quotes, and it’s not obvious that it is coming from Bhikkhu Bodhi or another translator. That particular passage you read out with the forsaking (The Island p. 32); did you translate it yourself? I think Bhikkhu Bodhi uses relinquishment of acquisitions.” Answered by Ajahn Amaro. [Pāli] [Translation] [Bhikkhu Bodhi] [Ajahn Amaro] // [Ajahn Pasanno]
7. “It is, friend, in just this fathom-high carcass endowed with perception and mind that I make known the world, the origin of the world, the cessation of the world, and the way leading to the cessation of the world.” — SN 2.26.5 [Bhikkhu Bodhi translation]. [Nature of the cosmos] [Four Noble Truths]
Quote: “This pithy utterance of the Buddha may well be the most profound proposition in the history of human thought...” — Bhikkhu Bodhi’s footnote to the above passage. [Bhikkhu Bodhi] [Philosophy]
