Internal

● MN 64 - 🔗🔊 16m, Mahā-māluṅkya [Mahā-mālukya]: greater (discourse to) malyunkya:
like AN 9.36, doing vipassana while in 4 jhanas, 7 perception attainments. “Who on earth do you remember being taught the five lower fetters in that way? Wouldn’t the wanderers who follow other paths fault you using the simile of the infant? For a little baby doesn’t even have a concept of ‘identity’, so how could identity view possibly arise in them? Yet the underlying tendency to identity view still lies within them. A little baby doesn’t even have a concept of ‘teachings’, so how could doubt about the teachings possibly arise in them? Yet the underlying tendency to doubt still lies within them.
