notes on the Dhamma

Internal 4👑☸ → EBpedia📚 → yoniso   If you really want to know what 'yoniso' means in the suttas, look at how it's used. Here are all the occurrences in the suttas:  EBpedia📚  →  yoniso . Sujato had "rational", I replaced "rational" with "source-seeking" just as a temporary eyesore fix, as I go through fixing all the translations at each reference by hand on lucid24.org.
