right speech, wrong speech cloaked in civil language



From a parting message to a troll:

....


Like upper class folks who've learned how to cloak wrong speech and wrong intentions in socially acceptable language, 
but the words and intent are far more malicious and cutting than run of the mill insults or physical assault.
You can get by the moderators here, but in real life, be careful.
People get stabbed, shot, etc. if you say the wrong thing, 
or even non verbally give off an insulting, disrespectful energy with body language or a glance.
A relative of mine made some insulting comments debating a Tibetan Buddhist one time.
No angry words were exchanged.
But soon after that meeting, my relative developed a severe pain around their neck/shoulder/back that lasted many years.
It must have been more than 5 years later when they finally found a good chinese medicine doctor (who is also an exceptional meditator) who diagnosed and fixed the pain.
The doctor explained that it must have been some high level qigong master or meditator who intentionally put some kind of energy block around the neck.
The doctor's own qigong level was such that he was able to unblock it.
My relative then made the connection that it must have been when they had that debate with the Tibetan Buddhist.

You want to be careful what you say and how you say it no matter who you're talking to.
They may not have an intention or have psychic powers and the skill to put a physical hurting on you, but they may have Deva guardians or demonic spirit companions who do.

AN 9.36, MN 64, MN 111: How does Ajahn Brahm and Sujato's "Jhāna" work here?

What these 3 suttas have in common, AN 9.36, MN 64, MN 111, is the very interesting feature of explicitly describing doing vipassana, while one is in the jhāna and the first 3 formless attainments. LBT (late buddhist text) apologists, as well as Sujato, Brahm, claim that the suttas describe a jhāna where one enters a disembodied, frozen state, where vipassana is impossible until one emerges from that 'jhāna'.  Since Sujato translated all the suttas, let's take a look at what he translated, and how it supports his interpretation of 'jhāna'.  AN 9.36: Jhānasutta—Bhikkhu Sujato (suttacentral.net) ‘The first absorption is a basis for ending the defilements.’ ‘Paį¹­hamampāhaṁ,   bhikkhave,   jhānaṁ   nissāya   āsavānaṁ   khayaṁ   vadāmÄ«’ti,   iti   kho   panetaṁ   vuttaṁ. That’s what I said, but why did I say it? KiƱcetaṁ   paį¹­icca   vuttaṁ? Take a mendicant who, q uite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskill...
