Download audio (4:08)
“So Luang Por Sumhedo’s talk the other day where he said that our conditioning is still kind of continuous, so it is the habits that are being reborn. And still there is this awareness which knows all of that and is related to freedom. They still need to play out even though that might have been recognized, but the rebirth process could still happen for quite a while even though recognition is there.” Answered by Ajahn Amaro. [Ajahn Sumedho] [Conditionality] [Habits] [Rebirth] // [Theravāda] [Nibbāna] [Buddha/Biography]

Sutta: Snp 1074-6: Upasīva’s Question: “One who has reached the end has no criterion by which they can be measured.” [Knowing itself] [Death]
