every occurrence of vacī-saṅ-khārā : vocalization-co-doings (17 suttas not including KN)

Summary

vaci sankhara summary, 17 suttas
3ss = 3 sankharas: kaya, vaci, citta.

DN 18: coarse 3ss have not been pacified (passadhi).
 after listening to Dharma and practicing it, 3ss are pacified
(vaci-sankhara pacified corresponds to 2nd jhana,
kaya sankhara pacified corresponds to 4th jhana,
citta sankhara pacified corresponds to sanna vedayita nirodha)
also sukha (pleasure) and so-manassa (mental-happiness), pamojja (altruistic mirth) arise as result.

MN 9: 3ss caused by ignorance, 8aam leads to their cessation.
MN 43: difference between dead man and monk in sanna-vedayita-nirodha attainment - 3ss have ceased (nirodha) and pacified (passaddhi) in both, but in monk, there is still heat, vitality, and indriya faculties are exceptionally clear.

MN 44: what are 3ss, why are they 3ss
what order do 3ss cease for nirodha attainment
no thoughts (pronoun iti) can occur during attainment
what order do 3ss revive emerging from nirodha attainment

MN 57: 3ss action (kamma and fruit, rebirth) corresponds to 3ss by way of vacīsaṅkhāraṃ abhisaṅkharoti, (mano instead of citta).

MN 117: samma sankappo defined to include vitakka and vaci-sankahra among other terms.

SN 12.2: 12ps links, sankhara defined as 3ss
SN 12.25: same as MN 9: 3ss caused by ignorance, 8aam leads to their cessation. (recheck)
SN 12.27: same as MN 9: 3ss caused by ignorance, 8aam leads to their cessation.
SN 12.28: same as MN 9: 3ss caused by ignorance, 8aam leads to their cessation.
SN 12.33: same as MN 9: 3ss caused by ignorance, 8aam leads to their cessation.
SN 41.6 same as MN 44

AN 3.23: same or similar to MN 57
AN 4.171: ?
AN 4.233: same or similar to MN 57
AN 4.234: same or similar to MN 57
AN 6.44: vacīsaṅkhārā uppajjanti.
Take another person who is angry and conceited, and from time to time has the impulse to speak inappropriately.

Notes of interest

If you search summary above for MN 57, and AN 6.44, it will identify the suttas that link kamma (karma, action, fruit, rebirth) to the 3 sankharas.

B. Sujato is wrong again 🤦

Therefore B. Sujato's vaci-sankhara of "placing the mind and keeping it connected" can not work, as the mind glued to a visual nimitta would not have the karmic potency to cause rebirth in hell or heaven, etc.

Advice to younger meditators on jhāna, sex, porn, masturbation

Someone asked: Is porn considered harmful sexual.activity? I don't have a sex life because I don't have a partner and I don't wish to engage in casual sex so I use porn to quench the biological urge to orgasm. I can't see that's it's harmful because nobody is being forced into it. The actors are all paid well and claim to enjoy it etc. The only harm I can see is that it's so accessible these days on smart devices and so children may access it but I believe that this is the parents responsibility to not allow unsupervised use of devices etc. Views? Frankk response: In another thread, you asked about pleasant sensations and jhāna.  I'm guessing you're young, so here's some important advice you won't get from suttas   if you're serious about jhāna.  (since monastics are already celibate by rule)   If you want to attain stable and higher jhānas,   celibacy and noble silence to the best of your ability are the feedstock and prerequiste to tha...

SN 48.40 Ven. Thanissaro comments on Ven. Sunyo's analysis

This was Ven. Sunyo's analysis of SN 48.40: https://notesonthedhamma.blogspot.com/2024/05/exciting-news-honest-ebt-scholars-like.html And here is Ven. Thanissaro's response to that analysis: I think there’s a better way to tackle the issue of SN 48:40 than by appealing to the oldest layers of commentarial literature. That way is to point out that SN 48:40, as we have it, doesn’t pass the test in DN 16 for determining what’s genuine Dhamma and what’s not. There the standard is, not the authority of the person who’s claiming to report the Buddha’s teachings, but whether the teachings he’s reporting are actually in accordance with the principles of the Dhamma that you know. So the simple fact that those who have passed the Buddha’s teachings down to us say that a particular passage is what the Buddha actually taught is not sufficient grounds for accepting it. In the case of the jhānas—the point at issue here— we have to take as our guide the standard formula for the jhānas, a...
